Notice numerous used Leupolds in the free classifieds and for sale online. Sellers what are you replacing them with? New Leupolds or new other brands? GW

I gave up on Leupolds in 1998. I own one now of my 20+ scopes, the remainder are Swarovski.

Leupolds are just about the only scopes on my guns that bear scopes.

I have a couple Leupolds on varmint rifles. They work. I have Swapped the Leupolds on my big game rifles for Nightforce. I started turning turrets and the Leupolds weren’t cutting it.
I have also trimmed my safe down to the couple rifles I actually use. The $ went toward the glass. The SHV Line is comparable in price anyway, but I have 2.5-10x32’s on my rifles. Bombproof and boringly repeatable so far. I couldn’t care less what anyone else uses, it is purely what works for you and your application.

I still have Leupolds, but no recent purchases.
NF SHV 3-10x40 Forceplex is my latest one.

I just started buying Nikons. Yeah, no kidding. Been satisfied enough with Burris lately myself. Had good luck with my personal Leupolds.

Replacing my Leupolds? Hell, I just now moved up to Leupold territory. Got my first VX 3i 3.5-10x40 off the little brown truck last week.
Be nice to us bottom feeders.

No reason to replace something not broke.
