Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Super Sniper scopes - how is the optical quality

I've found over the years that you can ask people for advice on a product, but it REALLY helps if you actually go get that item and use it yourself.

I understand that people don't want to spend money for something only to discover they did not like it. But sometimes you simply have to take that chance. Like most things in life it's a calculated risk.

This clears up volumes of speculation and uncertainty.

Does anyone here actually have a broken Leupold.... currently?

If so..... why not ship it to a couple other guys here for verification of its phuqedupedness?

Ohhhhhh..... that's right..... you already sent it back for repair..... "Got it back in two weeks".....

I'd like to buy the next "titis-up" or "poor tracking" Leupold that you're getting ready to send back..... just to see WTF.

cypherin' deciphering Now, you could use the contraction 'cipherin', which would work because the two apostrophes show you know the difference between "decipher" and "cipher" which have different meanings. Cipher, means to put into code or more correctly, a secret or disguised way of writing; a code. You know, the way you communicate. How you use your misspelled version of the word, it is clear from your context, that you mean decipher. Decipher means convert (a text written in code, or a coded signal) into normal language. This is what we all do when we read your text. From your context, you mean decipher in its definition as to succeed in understanding, interpreting, or identifying (something). I hope this helps as you are clearly more intelligent than that and I just want to help you look good.

offa Should be "off of". This is a common error made by certain people who type only as they think they hear it.

mighta Should be "might have". Similar to "offa" above; however, you are actually hearing the spoken contraction might've for the words "might have".

Reupold It's Leupold. I don't assign this error to you specifically because it's entirely possible you've only bought Leupold scopes from Japanese retailers and distributors. At times those people mispronounce their "Ls" as "Rs". I would think by now you would have seen others writing it as Leupold. I speculate because of your superior intellect, about which you inform us all constantly, you just assumed everybody else spelled it wrong. This will help you out, read the writing on both the scope and the box in which it came and you will see that it is spelled with an "L" and not an "R".

cain't I'm assuming you have just heard it mispronounced by others around you your whole life. Trust me, it is "can't".

cypher See "cypherin'" above. It is decipher, in the context in which you use it.

I enjoy that someone was giddy about Reupold MK4's in comparison and I've never shot with anyone,that prefers a MK4 over a Fixed Fhuqker. Fact is...there's lotsa Reupolds including MK4's sailing away,never to be seen again. I've got 'em in 6x M3,10x & 16x M1's,3.5-10x M1's,3.5-10x M3's and 4.5-14x M1's offa the top of my head,but am prolly forgetting a few. Just mighta shot a few others too. Only talking 100+ scopes. Hint.

I think some already said that the warranty thing is nice if you're having failures where you can afford to send the scope back and wait.

My few failures occurred at places like Kodiak Island, where the postal service was 50 miles way...

My most recent one- Leupold did fix it- How the he!! does the whole windage turret fall completely off when unscrewing the cap??

This was a VX3

SS (aka super chicken ...lol) have lifetime manf. Defect warranty FOR the original owner... Non transferable.

So if you don't sell it you have some recourse if it breaks...

Got this from the owners manual of one of my SS scopes , under "warranty":

"The SS rifle scope line is backed by a very simple lifetime warranty: if your SS rifle scope
ever becomes damaged or defective, under normal use, we will repair or replace it.
That’s all there is to it! No registration card or proof of purchase needed. It doesn’t
even matter if you are the first or tenth owner, you can be confident your purchase is
backed by the same great service and guarantee as the day it left the factory.
The SS warranty does not cover loss, theft or intentional damage."

One still has to wonder WTH do spinners provide on a 22... HINT... (Had to say it, Couldn't help it)....

So, in other words, don't pound in your tent stakes with it. That sounds like a fool-proof warranty to me. One less for Leupold dominance.
