The Army does not use Leupold exclusively. Sniper rifles in our armsroom have S&B, Nightforce and Leupold scopes. I have been active duty for quite a while now and am fairly familiar with all of them (Not much time on a 2010 or with the S&B).
RDFinn I agree with Formidilosus that the Leupolds are the most problematic of our scopes. The MK4 LR/T 3.5-10 M2 that come on the M110 are the worst.
He believes only what he wants, this has been going on for years. Face it he's an older gentleman who has all the answers and he comes to this forum to try and influence others that he knows best. That is fact!
put JG in with him too, finally someone who gets it right. when we start talking about mk 4's and nightforces we are beyond the scope of a hunting rifle scope. and when we make that deviation leupold can't hang anymore.
ERMY and JG dudes seriously if you set it and forget it a leupold is going to work great its going to be a decent scope. its the adjustments everyone is saying isn't what they should be. for 99% of people they will never use a hunting scope in such a fashion. I would also say that many people don't have an accurate enough gun to really know how well their hunting rifle scope tracks. and no the problem isn't crappy gunsmithing and poor scope mounting!!!! put a scope on an honest 1/4-3/8 MOA rifle and one that can do it at 200 yards and beyond. you will then see tracking that you get from NF seperate the men from the boys.
