Well, speaking just for myself.....as I said before I'm not a BR or competition shooter. In that arena I'm sure NF rules. I have no reason not to believe the great reviews I read about them from Formid and the experienced here. I'm just a hunter. The average hunter will never wear out a VX3, VX6, Conquest, or Elite 4200 spinning dials. I also feel, and it's just a SWAG, that the Leupold problems reported (not necessarily by people here), are a small sample of the scopes used, and could entirely be related to mounting issues and user error, including lots of "expert" gunsmiths. As I've posted before, I've probably seen over 110 different hunter's rifles over the past 11 years or so. Guessing 75% wear Leupy's of some configuration. I always ask each hunter specific questions about their equipment.....all of it. Not one has ever had a problem with their scopes. I find that interesting too.
