What BS am I blasting other than hard facts... if you don’t like the facts you can cordially go fük yourself... Now we're getting somewhere! Totally. How do you get the two dots to appear above the "u," anyway?

If a company makes a scope, markets it as a certain type of scope and sells it to a particular niche in the market then yes they do need to prove themselves... Leupold has a tactical line as well as offerings in a hunting scope with exposed turrets designed primarily for dialing... Otherwise all their turrets would be capped... They turn out a schitt product and are knowledgeable of its short comings but still neglect to do anything to improve or correct it... Either prove they are able to satisfy that niche or do away with the product lines... If they are relying on the set and forget market then why not focus only on that aspect of it and have a stellar reputation instead of trying to satisfy all markets and have a well below average reputation... Dollars ? I suppose those counting the dollars couldn’t care less about the end users... that is until the dollar count gets lower and lower... Selling one’s reputation for a minimal profit is only telling of the true character of a company and what is to come in the future... Sad that a once great reputation will go to schitt over less than $50 worth of materials per optic... You don't know anything about manufacturing, cost of production and the rest. Why come off on here as an expert ? That is why I have mentioned close this thread, because we get the idiots, dopes and the rest popping off. Farmboy, you’re gonna get schooled and you definitely won’t like the new substitute teacher. Doing you a favor...Thank me later. 😎

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Leupold has nothing to prove imo. Their “market” is clear. Just like NF and SWFA clearly hit their market and have nothing to prove to “set and forget” folks that complain about the weight or exposed turrets.
I hope swfa takes another swing at their lightweight variable. If that is the case (and it is not), Leupold should never have introduced the CDS which can be mounted on the so called "set and forget" VX models. Its simple. They are not fit for purpose. Nor are many of their dedicated dialling models.

There's plenty of reports that they don't work for set and forget. Hey MtBoomer, Next time you go to Kodiak, Afognak, or, Southeast poll the Brown Bear hunting guides to see what they depend on for a "set and forget" scope while they RISK their lives chasing brownies.....oh wait, MtBoomer has never been brown bear hunting in alder jungles....he has no clue what these guys use when they risk their and their clients' lives......guarantee you wont find a SWFA or many NF......yup, it will be L.....E.......U.......P........O.......L.......D......S.......now, stop talking [bleep], you are embarrassing yourself!

Just out of curiosity, who has run the VX-Freedom through it's paces? Is it an improvement? Cowboy Tim, Asking the anti-Leupold clique here about a VX-Freedom scope is like asking AOC what she thinks of Trump. Group think and "butt hurt" feelings run deep in this crowd. Objectivity is not happening. I wonder if some of these guys are shills for competing optics companies.... They are right, you are a friggin idiot..... I love and hate Leupolds for all the reasons mentioned..... group think ... you fuggin moron Tell us what you love about them....(but, if you are going to keep membership in the "wannabe butt hurt sniper clique" you must not forget the negatives)...... This you fuggin moron.... ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/Y2D25yKq/IMG-1085.jpg) Irfubar, Nice "fair weather" rifle. Would not last long in the bear brush in Alaska. The rings are too high. Probably a poor cheek weld (unless of course, you have a huge double chin!). Looks like Montana North of Missoula. Flathead Lake country? (Btw, when young I used to duck hunt at Ninepipes Reservoir....good duck hunting...many, many, many years ago).... Don't be insecure, it is OK to disagree with the "butt hurt clique." You look very dapper in your picture. High school prom no doubt!

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Multiple reports right in this thread. Puts us right back to:

Irfubar,
Nice "fair weather" rifle. Would not last long in the bear brush in Alaska.
“Bear Brush” sounds so scary,exactly what kind of tree or bush is that?

If a bear farts in the woods and no one is around ,will it actually make a noise? Only if it knocks a tree over. If a bear is charging in an alder jungle and a guide has to shoot it, what would the average range of a shot be? At that distance, would a POI shift of 3 MOA even matter compared to the guy behind the scope?

no give me my shotgun a old Remington 870 and slugs ,but as a old bear guide friend of mine said : if i have to kill a wounded bear again,i hope its a little farther away and i can use my scope rifle ,believe me this dude has killed more than a few bears when that old wounded Marine was in Nam.
