Larry's advice to me on scopes, bullets, rifles and reloading has never not come out exactly as he said it would. YMMV but I've been here a while and asked a lot.

Some might cry about delivery but damn, if it works as advertised, I don't care. I'm after answers, not poems. I've seen him help a metric ton of people on this forum over my time here.

What I can't understand is people slobber all over Vortex because 1/2 of their shipping costs are on "warranty replacements" while MF a SWFA that simply doesn't fail at near the clip Vortex does.

The BEST customer service department is the one you NEVER need to use. I don't buy chit because when I call a company for returns - they have an efficient and easy way to do so - there's a damn reason for that. Calling a company for a return should be slightly involved because they're not used to doing it. Too many people with the Walmart mentality - so what if I have to buy 6 of them, they make it easy, instead of "buy once - never see them again unless to buy again". Notice no mention of cost/price there.

Make NO mistake small twig I will let you know when and if that happens.
In case you think I have only owned/used a few I currently have 67 (sixty seven!) Leupold scopes mounted on my Rifles (and a pistol) and shoot them all!
My advice to anyone thinking of taking anything small twig urps up to heart - reconsider!
Sad and pathetic.

P.S.: The Burris scopes I own also work quite commendably - again, disregard any blather that small twig may blurth - you'll be better off for it - hint.
Double sheesh.
How many of these Leupold scopes sight in with two shots? How many hold their POA/POI. Legitimate questions.

His advice is spot on, because he actually shoots, and has a no BS attitude. He is right, “it’s not hard to spot those who shoot vs shooting their mouth”.

Glad to see ya back, Stick. I had not seen you in a bit. Your addition to goomersations is priceless.

I've had that narcotic infested gnome loser on ignore for a couple of years now. He has nothing to say that can't be found out elsewhere by shooters and hunters around here that are just as, if not more knowledgeable than that bottom feeder is. This clown has serious mental issues, which to most should be seen quite easily.


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

It is “eye opening,” for sure.

Good lord it is easy to troll, I even said it was trolling. Stick needs to adjust his meds. I don't know about yall but I'm throwing every piece of glass I have away and getting a 6x SS. Wonder how he feels about my Savage 260? It has a Leupold on it.

Those did, for how long? Who knows. They came on guns I bought. However, they did not sight in like the other makers mentioned. No matter how much you read between the lines, Leupold doesn’t have a 100% failure rate. It’s just too high for a sensible person to use them exclusively.

I’m amazed a state f-up could do a simple search like that. BTW how is did your high fence adventures pan out this past season?

The idea that The vast majority of Leupold scopes don’t work well for over 95% of the hunting population is BS. If you set your scope up zero at 200 yards & use cds dial past 400 yards less than 20 times a season you will very likely be happy.

The guys on this forum that shoot thousands of rounds in a month constantly dialing might be better served to go with Nightforce or SWFA.

When time to get the shot off means success or failure simplified dialing is superior to a written dope chart/ generic turret combination & a calibrated reticle is faster still when pressured speed & adrenaline are involved

Anyone seen a car driving down the road with heavy back end collision damage ? They usually have a ratchet strap holding the trunk closed because the mechanical parts are no longer working properly . The trunk stays closed though.

Do you really think that every Leupold comes broken out of the box? You cannot be that stupid.

The issue is quite a few(what percentage who knows), develop problems after use. Some suck from the get go. That is good enough for some until they aren’t. With Swfa ss costing 300 clams, it’s a no brainer. That is exactly the point people are trying to make.

It’s faster? Ok, how much faster? I mean to state that would mean you’re equally skilled at both dialing and holding, and you’ve timed it enough to have something resembling data, right?


So say from standing, spotting the animal, ranging, getting into position and hitting a deer sized vitals, how much faster to a hit? Say 90% hits at uneven yardages (278, 367, 422, etc.).

I have no Rem 700's or Leupold scopes any more. For hunting big animals a close range they were fine.

Sako, Tikka, and Steyr with a lone Savage is all that is left.

The Steyr is a 7mm-08 and has a 6x MQ on it. I free hand shoot it some as it is a deer rifle. I also bang an IPSC steel target at 1160 yards anytime I take it to the range.

I could not do that with a *Rem 700 or Leupold scope.

* the Rem 700 would need a lot of work, the Steyr is off the shelf no mods.
