"Now that the majority of posters in this section has condemned Leupold scopes and their progeny, what will you use in the future?" I have some Leupold, Weaver (K4 & K6), Burris (FFII) and Swarovski Z3 . Probably just keep on 😉

Just trying to keep the thread on the rails, despite attempts to knock it off. Now that the majority of posters in this section has condemned Leupold scopes and their progeny, what will you use in the future?

"Now that the majority of posters in this section has condemned Leupold scopes and their progeny, what will you use in the future?" I have some Leupold, Weaver (K4 & K6), Burris (FFII) and Swarovski Z3 . Probably just keep on 😉 I think the majority of people will keep on, keeping on. With Weaver gone, if you need to replace either, you will have to decide whether to go with Leupold, Zeiss or change to a low power variable. I have a Weaver 4x on a 308. I think if it ever went south, I would look for another 4x.

Whatever's on sale or clearance that has a decent reputation and good eye relief. Ain't no critical missions here.

Now that the majority of posters in this section has condemned Leupold scopes and their progeny, what will you use in the future? Should scopes even have black tubes or gold markings anymore? I'm thinking that people might mistake them for Leupolds. Perhaps they should be camoflaged, made a dull brown, flat blue, or painted vibrant reds, yellows and pinks...for the benchrest crowd, and gay people...but I'm not saying that BR shooters are gay, ok? Just trying to be all inclusive. Although I suppose some of the BR crowd probably are, but again, that's ok. Just trying to be all inclusive.  Apart from properly fixing the erectors, the knobs, reticles, and other stuff I probably missed, is there something that Leupold should do to make amends to the shooting public?  Years ago, they would have taken the owners or senior people into the public square and had them flogged. Would that be a possibility? I was just thinking that they might do things properly if they knew that it was not going to go well for them personally. You know, if they put profits above quality.  Should there be a sheriff's sale of the factory and property to another scope company? Should Leupold users be shunned by Zeiss or NF owners? Or shamed into divesting themselves of all their Leupold scopes in favour of something of higher quality?  I'm confused. See, I only have one Leupold, so I don't feel angry or ashamed. Should I be ashamed though? I did get it repaired up here (for free), but what other 4 power scopes would do? So many questions. So confusing... Is Steve Redgwell really Gus?

That's wonderful GregW and Judman, but I asked, "Now that the majority of posters in this section has condemned Leupold scopes and their progeny, what will you use in the future?" Can you answer the question? In the last few months I’ve bought four Nightforce scopes, three SWFA’s and three Sig’s. I regret the Sig scope purchases. I’ve sold two of my three Leupold VX6 scope. The one remaining VX6 has 610 rounds under it and has been banged a bit. It is still functioning as a scope should and it fits my lightweight 7WSM well. If this changed a SWFA 3-15x42 will replace it. I’ve also tripped a March 2.5-25x42 a couple days ago, replacing it with a NF. To answer your question without any drama you may seek. I am buying only Nightforce and SWFA scopes. 😎

That's fine. I'm not looking for any drama. I am simply curious that with all the negativity toward Leupold, what other manufacturers will people turn to, or simply stay the course. Drama is for our PM. He's a former high school drama teacher.

If you weren’t looking for any drama.... you should have asked a simple question.... rather than lace it with a bunch of pompous douchebag rhetoric.
Ask a question like a smart-ass.... get smart-ass responses.

I’m pretty much on the SWFA 3-9 and nightforce shv/nxs train these days, I still have a vx3i in the closet as a backup and a vx1 on my 22 rifle but I probably won’t be buying any more leupolds in the foreseeable future. That reminds me, I need to call camera land and get another shv 3-10.

So was it the multiple threads about Leupold that changed your mind, or were you committed to NF before this flare up?

So many questions. So confusing... You post some weird stuff. I esp like your threads where you are the only poster talking to himself.
