None of my Leupold scopes are especially new. Usually my only complaint is that when being sighted in the adjustments seem to take 2 or 3 or more shots before settling down. Sometimes this can result in a lot of shots being required in order to set the scope up. Once they have settled in they seem to hold their zero permanently.
Due the increasingly high price of Leupold scopes here in Canada I have been buying more Bushnell and Burris products. They may not be the equal of Leupolds but for the price difference they are more than satisfactory for my purposes.
I have a new Browning X-bolt in .223 coming in a few days and am not sure whether to buy a new scope or to start with a very old 4-12x Redfield scope. I have a couple of much newer 2-7x scopes laying around (in fact one may be 5-7 years old but unused yet)but this may not be enough magnification for my old eyes.
