Run whatcha brung... Everything has a failure rate. However, the difference between a Leupold- any Leupold, and a Nightforce- any Nightforce is worlds apart. That is not a guess. It is not based on seeing a couple of scopes. It is not based on what scope I like. It is not based on opinion. It is based on hundreds of scopes from each being measured and used. In an average year I will directly see 40-50 Leupolds shot and tested. Well over half will have total failures. In that same year I will see twice as many Nightforces and the failure rate has been 0% for the last decade. The sniper weapon system optic with highest failure in modern (post 70’s) US military history is the 3.5-10x40 M3LR with near 25% failure rate. The scope with lowest failure rate in US mil issuance history is the Nightforce 3.5-15x50 NXS F1 at less than 1%. Those “failure” rates are from SWS’s being turned in for repair. Really hard to argue with this. And I have more that 50 Leupolds Last edited by 6MMWASP; 09/24/19.

Clarkm Campfire Outfitter Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 10,424 Likes: 7 WA rain forest	October 2018 In 2018 I built a 280AI on a 1949 M70 action with a Leupold 3-18x44 VX-6HD No complaints about that scope. I am building rifles right now for 2019. No complaints setting up a couple Leupolds and a couple SWFA ultra lights. But Zeiss zeiss scope on amazon They want me to use their bullet comp and not my Quickload. The turrets are not marked. Remember how many clicks you turned. I think their BCD [rapid z 800] reticle is the wrong scale and was meant for a 12X scope, not a 15X scope. On the plus side, it is cheap, light weight, bright, and with side focus.
