Again, which Leupolds ? The fixed magnification 10X, Mk.4 has been the Army's day scope since the 80's. It was developed to meet the Army's standards which no one could do at the time.
This is true. In 1984 my ODA and I flew to Portugal on a 130 with a SEAL Platoon. The crusty old platoon Chief had just left a staff job at Crane Naval Weapons Center. He said that they had tested and destroyed every single scope on the planet. The only one that came close to holding up
was the ZF-69, but sub lockouts finally got it, though I'm sure that wasn't in their design parameters.
Three years later I sat on Smoke Bomb Hill and listened to MSG Rick Boucher pretty much tell the same story, and then he showed us one of the SOTIC committee 700's with a then brand new Leupold M3 Ultra. Never saw one of those scopes not track accurately.
