Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Working Together with Leupold Follow Up

It just did...

It seems rather odd that someone would get so emotionally upset over a rifle scope that the scope makers(with literally a vast majority of owners quite satisfied with the scopes) representative would need a nomex suit and support animal. Even more so as the scope maker will quickly repair or replace a defective scope that could be easily sold and replaced with something the that would work better for the shooter. Leupold scope still demand a premium on the used scope market.

Change the word Styx to Leupold.......
Like I said before.
If leupold fixes their broke dik schitt and professionals test em and say they are GTG. Then those of us who lost confidence in em might buy em again . Even if we are a small % of their market that moans about what they were and what they are now.
Leupold DGAF.....
And until they make better products that track and adjust per stated value, hold zero and RTZ.
They can sell all they want to whoever.
And the rest of us in this oh so "small population of wanting schitt that works" will buy some other brand.



I would trust no review of their scopes by anyone who is sponsored by them or authorized carte blanche dealers on their " special " list....
Reputable professionals who test optics for a living outside of leupold,s influence have spoken many times about testing their inferior products for YEARS... Not just us disgruntled azzholes who want a scope that works also..



GMAFB.......

Just gumdrops.

That Customer Service won't come out in the field and correct that miss due to zero shift on an expensive hunt that you saved up for years to afford.
The only Leupolds I trust anymore are the older scopes that have been around here for decades.

Have a good Bud who is a die hard Ford buyer and about every time I pull up in a Toyota 4Runner he starts off on that "Jap schitt." Over and over. Ok don't buy a Toyota, OK with us. But no, it is not OK with him and he is willing to forget his one Ford ecoboost blew up. He has to tell you he isn't buying any Jap schitt. Just has to.

Someone doesn't want a Leupold, none are forcing them to buy Leupold. But they have to tell you over and over and over, they are not buying a Leupold. With enough emphasis that it gets old and boring. Really most of us don't care what scope they buy. Some go about thinking they are saving others in strange ways.

Call Doug (forum sponsor) and buy some of his newest optics.easy .next

Thanks Doug.

I'm with you on the Toyota buying my friend.. They make some good tough trucks.. Or I should say made. The older ones are better than the new chit they have now.. Hmmm. Kind of like Leupold.

Agreed. To a couple, it makes them feel relevant, when in fact no one gives a dam what they think.

Previous Runner went 200,000 with only regular maintenance, 65,000 on this one. Oil, tires and brakes. Makes it hard to change horses. Kinda like my Leupold luck. About a hundred Deer, a Bear and two Mountain Goats.

You only like Leupold cuz you don't shoot much and can't shoot good enough to be able to tell if your scope is really staying zero'd or not. And those hundred deer don't count for nothin either cuz you probably shot them at such close range it just didn't matter that your zero wandered 3" since you checked it last week. Just ask the experts here and they'll tell you all about it.

I'll concede to the LR crowd their choice. Mainly because I have a Smith friend who competes and make competition rifles for others. He shoots Nightforce. When asked why he replied, because in my game fractions of an inch are important and Nightforce gives me fractions over Leupold. I have yet to fail to kill a big game animal by a fraction.

Nope, my success doesn't depend on fractions either.

Most commonly folks satisfied are those who using Leupolds on rigs fired dozens of times a year. Less satisfaction when we're talking 100s and dissatisfaction greatly increases with thousands of rounds... There's problems, that is undeniable but if they're working for you rock on.

Leuyota?

Toypold??....

Does it steer straight?

I've got one on a .223 that seems to be doing fine after about 2,500 rounds. Good enough to kill woodchucks consistently out to 250-275 yards anyway and that's generally as far as I get to shoot in the rolling farmland where I hunt them.

Thanks Doug. I said before that my biggest complaint is the stiffness of the power selector ring, especially on the VX-6’s.

Lol. ^this^
As well as First time hearing about this
