I would like to thank all of you folk for enlightening me on how Leupolds are foreign made and with so many tracking issues one cannot depend on them for a hunt.
I’ve now switched all of my rifles to Skinner and XS Ghost sights. If you need a scope to hunt then it ain’t hunting anymore, its sniping. A true hunter gets close.
Thanks again

I really wanted to believe Gray’s Sporting Journal wouldn’t have fallen for such market hype. Gray’s Best

Yep. All thirty plus Leupolds of mine suck, poor things should be sold for scrap.

Ive had problems with many of mine...as a result i now don't own any.
I switched to iron sights last year and had a great time. I hunt at shorter distances though due to where i hunt so honestly they work better for me.

Thanks again There are a lot of people out there today who can't and don't really hunt but do kill stuff. They rely on modern technology rather than woodsmanship for success. Target shooting using live targets is what it boils down to.

Well, by God, I put an odd ball combo on a 444 and its the dang Bomb...
I always thought the XS set for the 95 style frame was hulking. I installed a regular 336 rear XS with Skinner Bearbuster 1” spacing front sight.
Its the sight system it should be.
Cheesy, sorry to post such an outdated article. Leupold probably got worse since that time according to the 24campfire experts.

Thanks again Just a WAG but I'm thinking there is a vast difference in the terrain that you and I hunt. If you really want to be a true hunter throw rocks.

Over 40 + years of using Leupold Scopes along with others, I've only had one bad one out of the box. Leupold is not the very best but in the top five.

Some folks just are stuck in their own bubble and really don't care what goes on outside of it, and that's fine.
The problem arises when these people compare everything to their own bubble...

I rather enjoy Melting Snowflakes going FULL Pelosi and turning into puddles of Liberal Tears...the "lucky" kchunts. Hint. Congratulations?!?
HILARIOUSLY,none in The Paper Hat Brigade has ever even seen a sound rifle,let alone used one and wouldn't know even where to start in order to extract inherent merit. Though in fairnes,they will lick the schit outta windows and cry unison,as the Estrogen Levels surge. Hint. LAUGHING!
Bless their CLUELESS hearts for Crying.
Hint.
LAUGHING!..................

I’ve never taken a deer with a spear though. I have killed deer with chicken wire, t-post, and a ball bat. No Snowflake here
