Well Jeff - truth be known - I have had just about every scope made by each Company.I'm not going to try to come on here as the new guy and bullshit you, with the exception of Leica and S&B - those are way way out of my range for optics..so I cant comment on either one of those two !! but I have had most all of them from the lonley Weaver to the poor pathetic Bushnells - so that being said - I love my Leupolds.When I do spend 800.00 on a scope - I buy what I consider the best,maybe growing up with nothing but Leupolds and then using them in the military - I may tend to lean towards them ..LOLL - Bottom line - every scope I have ever used at one time or another has had some tracking problem,other than that -I am just old and set in my ways.
I find that interesting on the scope though..neat story,and if you say its true -then I believe you.
