I think Leupold needs to define what backlash is and how it affects the functioning of the product.
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!

And for each shiny widget sold, you sell 250 of the matte-finish version. I understand the widget theory, but for nearly 80 years Leupold sold a gloss version of their product(s) as a standard finish. For folks who have been loyal Leupold fanboys for a bunch of those years it's hard to swallow. I'm not asking for every scope on the line to have a no cost gloss option, but c'mon at least throw us a bone on a 2-7 or 3-9 in something. That's not a bad idea. But then there'd be grumbling because it's not offered in XX.  Theres always gonna be grumblings, period

Is this going to be available to watch after it’s over?

It won't let me watch. After I clicked on the submit button, nothing happened.

Why do the new VX Freedom scopes have such a poor "eyebox"? The VX 1 & 2 were far better scopes.

As I said on the live chat, Leupold basically gave a marketing presentation. I have a bunch of Leupold scopes and they are great in many ways, but there is no doubt that the tracking could be improved. They seem unwilling to discuss this issue.

Well, that was interesting, and I'm glad Leupold did that.
Ya, some questions went without answer. Happens.
Maybe this will lead to improvement? I dunno. Only had a problem with one Leupold scope, 20 years ago. They fixed it twice, for free. No problems before or since.
But... I know other folks who have had problems. Doggone it!

I wish the adjustment cap gaskets were more robust on the VX-5.
