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

Very well said.

Some here like to ramble on about problems, as they perceive them.

But Doug, in his business has seen/heard enough to understand that
there must be something to it.

He ask us, as a group, to tell him our complaints.

And I had 2.
Listed them, shut up.

They were in line with most of the others.

If something comes of his effort, Leopold and the consumers will
benefit.

What's wrong with that?

Well said. Most of us are on drama free stand-by waiting to see if Leupold will improve their product and thereby regain our trust and money.

When I read this my mind saw fixed-6’s and thought that the power selector on a fixed 6 might be a bit stiff. 😂....it’s been a long day.

PS.....Nice job Doug with the follow up. The first thread on Leupold feedback took guts, this thread is just proof you enjoy grief. 😁. Many of us appreciate that you’ trying to better an iconic product that needs to get back to their “roots”. I wish you AND Leupold the best and I hope they can weed through the posts and identify areas that could use improvement. I shoot a lot and use Leupold on many of my rifles and I don’t see that changing too much in the future.

The difference is that the only reason anyone talks bad about Leupold here is that it's a talk forum where that specific question gets asked. I understand what you are saying and I would get tired of anybody constantly mouthing off about something I owned. I would however expect to hear their opinion ,even if I didn't like it ,if I asked them for it in a forum designed to talk about it.

"I hate Leupold, Leupold sucks, the Leupold kids are just in it for the money, Leupold was once a great company, I haven't bought a Leupold in x number of years." Some posters repeat the same over and over and every chance they get. When it turns into a whine, then it goes beyond rational conversational give and take. "Wha, wha, wha, Leupold." " Wha, wha, Leupold. etc, etc, etc."

I told the bud about the Ford post on the way to a shoot the other day. It was good for a laugh and some more back and forth jams. All in fun.

My last two Fords are now cat food cans and my 4Runner has 386,00 trouble free miles, and the new Tundra ain't doing bad! I have Leupolds for may years, Owned about 35, along with a few old and new Redfieds, and Weaver or two. I just bought a new Freedom and so far so good, never and trouble and most have traveled thousands of miles in the back of pickups, in saddle scabbards and on foot and on rather heavy recoiling 338. Got say I'll stick with then until they fail me.

I think you have a hard time finding a scope that is as light and compact as a Leupold. I have never understood guys buying a 5.5 Pound rifle and then putting a 2 Pound scope on it.

Just some things to be aware of when dealing with Leupold products.

Well, there's really no fire in a FireDot nor diamonds in Diamond Coat, or Twilight's last gleaming...
