I suspect that if every person that reads this were to swear off Leupold riflescopes forever it'd effect their market share so damned little they may as well do nothing. Like the tech told me, "I was not aware there's a problem with our erector system."
What are they to do, admit they have sold millions of potentially defective scopes and offer to replace them with the new handy dandy line built with reliable internals?
Whatever is said here besides the simple reports of failures is inconsequential, bfd.

There will plenty of fools that will still support Leupold. Just visit any of the other forums on other websites populated with weekend warrior bubbas.
Guys that check zero a week before hunting opening day and Thanksgiving weekend with their retarded in-laws.

When a brown bear charges in an alder jungle, is a scoped rifle the weapon of choice?
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.[/quote] >> this Marine has killed plenty bears and some were charging and most were not black bears and he always used Leupold scopes too on his 338 Win. Mag. in Alaska and few other places too.

The pattern at Leupold is as old as organized business, itself:
Founder starts with little more than an idea and ambition. Works his ass off to build a company, producing a good product at a good price. Achieves a loyal following and great success based on his hard efforts. Next generation inherits the business and keeps it going, having seen how hard pops worked to make it happen. 3rd generation grows up fat and happy, never learns what hard work is and has no business knowledge. 3rd generation exploits the loyal following and puts the once great company into the toilet by focusing on making a quick buck with little effort.
Next! You left out the part where the third generation probably sold off patents and designs to China to make even more of a buck. Hence the reason you see more and more chinese counterfeits running around...

Tracking and Zero retention, and when its returned to Leupold for repair it comes back the same not acceptable. You have to trust the adjustments. Listen to customer concerns and fix them, please.

Wait a minute....a guy who self-identifies with a BEAVER is scared of a "Big Hairy Bush".....Bizarre....maybe the little Beav is suffering from "vagina dentata phobia"......or, maybe the little guy is just terrified of sow grizzlies......hard to tell what goes on in that little beav's head......

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! Okay, pretty obvious you are Mutt in the duo. Laughing hard, but thank you for making it obvious. I believe I have posted more Kodiak Bear stories here with lots of pictures and details than anyone else. Your aggrandizement of the risks involved is curious. Did you shoot poorly to start the circus sideshow? Or is this more of your imagination and pretend?

Yup, because it is what you have because the balance of the times you will absolutely want that scoped rifle for the bear doing what most do, run away... I find it funny he talks about the alder jungles on Kodiak,,, I will let him/her explain what I mean. It will get interesting.

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? I have shot them from toooooo far to tooooo close... average, probably 30-60 yards. Nope, point and shoot time.

Rick should totally make you the Leupold Assist thread super duper moderator. As you mention Rick, he backed me up on a Kodiak brown bear at 24 yards (measured after the fact) a long time ago.

Which rangefinder do you prefer in that situation? Excuse me but I just roll out my dick and when they get to the tip it is time to shoot... Sheesh! Rookies!

Well, you may not need a rangefinder for that, but......
