Doug,
You may have gotten about all you need in the way of "constructive criticism" which you ask for. It is getting too crazy now. The nasty kids can't find another thread to be nasty in, so yes, Hopefully Leupold will ignore just the stupid posts on this thread and not the whole thread. I will agree with a few others, shutting it down would be a good idea. RJ

Trolls are out after dark.
I’d trade this batch for the old days, back when Bricktop was working on that master troll, Larry Root. At least that had some entertainment value.
DF Right there with ya. Do not forget about Safariman. Those were the days. Back then no one could have projected forward in time where they would actually be missed. DF

I hope that it will accomplish it's original goal. If I had the power to close the thread at this time I would, however, only Rick has that ability. I hope to start another thread shortly stating what the outcome of my discussions with Leupold are. Thanks again

Thanks again Thanks Doug, I'm not holding my breath that Leupold will retain any of the feedback you bring them. My experiences with Leupold's were great through the earlier years. But all the good ones were from the 70's through the early 90's. Anything purchased after that has not been as satisfying, nor as precise nor successful in getting to, or returning to zero.

We appreciate all that you do, Doug. I hope when the Leupold people read this thread, they understand that this optics thread, for some reason, seems to be a magnet for trolls and getting into the weeds. BUT, there is good stuff here and one has to resist being distracted by the frivolous from core content. Someone mentioned they should look at the old Weaver Micro Track system. Their glass wasn't the best, in fact not as good as some entry level Chinese glass, but those scopes tracked very well. I don't see why Leupold can't make a more robust tracking system in an otherwise great scope. DF

Yes Doug, some of us really appreciate what you are doing. The outcome is certainly out of our hands but I support you nevertheless. Also thanks for bringing some good optics buys to the table. Happy Trails, Steve

Quick Karl, IceCut, Llama Bob......are these all the same dolts in disguise? Ole Larry Root was more entertaining... DF Hmmm, Mr. Dirtbag....I mean, Dirtfarmer....you sound like a butt-hurt WANNABE SNIPER....allow me to educate you: Here in Alaska we are blessed with many Army/Air Force, etc. military bases. There are thousands of active duty and recently retired troops up here that moved from all over the USA. Quite a few, are....work with me now....REAL SNIPERS fresh from Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. We shoot with them....not dirtbag wannabes...... Now, do a little bit of research and get yourself a REAL SCOPE! Doug, Leupold would have had to spend some research dollars to get a few of the honest comments posted here - tell them to take it off of your bill. Thanks for taking the time.

Best prices and best customer advocate you're likely to find, if there's an issue with the product.

Doug HAS gone to bat for me as a customer, and that is a clear differentiator when I choose where to buy my optics. Having him start the conversation with a company made things seemingly go much smoother. At the end of the day I was very happy with both CLNY and with the optics company. Leupold would be wise to at least listen.

Doug, as a way of saying thanks, I'll prune out all of the constructive posts and post them as a stand alone post. If you think Leupold would benefit from it, I will do it.

Paul, You gonna lose the ambience of the Fire, especially the optics forum. How can someone eat a chicken wing after the bones have been removed... DF

I appreciate it, however, I do know they've been reading this thread and I'm sure they've "filtered" the worthwhile from the "extra added attractions"

What to do, what to do. I will be taking my 338-06 to NE BC next year for goat, moose and elk and it currently wears a bought new well used 1994 vintage Vari-X III 2.5-8X. I recently acquired a 2-10X VX5-HD that I planned on mounting and taking on the hunt...
