Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Leupold hate

What other option is there these days if you want 1x4 or 1x5 in a one inch tube? What other option if you want a 2x7? I always thought the Japanese Weavers were the best bang for the buck. Now it’s Leupold or bust for those type scopes.

Blister-pack Tasco and Simmons scopes also sell like hot cakes, so I'm not sure what your point is.

Well the blister pack Tascos used to sell under that name. Now they stamp swfa on them.LOL!

No point. Like I said I own one ☝🏻. They must be doing something right or they wouldn’t sell the way they do. Obviously a few have had issues with them but many have not. I will say I know someone personally that shoots long range and uses Leupold. I have shot his customer rifle and it shot without issue and returned to zero every time. I neither was a 6.5-284. He also uses Nighforce. I am in the market for a scope that dials and am trying to get as much information as possible before I make said purchase. That’s all.

I'm sorry I couldn't make that out. It sounded like you had something in your mouth while you were trying to talk. Are you on duty behind the KFC dumpster? Oh well. I doubt it was relevant to anything being discussed here anyway.

He'll be here all night, folks.

As mentioned with my blister-pack scope example, selling well doesn't mean that the scope is good or that it mechanically works correctly. It means that it's got a value proposition that is acceptable to many people. Among the shooters that dial a lot, my perception and experience is that of those that use Leupolds, most of them eventually have problems, and it usually doesn't take all that much shooting before those problems manifest themselves. My experience has been that Leupold scopes hold zero better than they track and RTZ, but there are scopes that do both tasks better.

If you're specifically looking for a scope to dial with, there are definitely better options than Leupold, as a general principle.

I bet more deer get killed in NY every year with blister pack Tasco, Simmons and Bushnell scopes than anything else.

And with everyone of the Leupold threads...everyone....you will be here until it dies out. But in the wings, waiting for the next...you can’t help yourself anymore than the other side.😀

Probably more wounded and lost as well

Jordan I appreciate the feed back. This is all new to me. Leupold is just one option because I have shot it. Also Nightforce. If you have scopes you would recommend I would gladly look at them. Feel free to send them in a PM as I’m not looking to turn this into a pissing march.

I at one point had over 15 Leupold mark4’s and many other models. 85% failed and needed repair.
I changed my product loyalty and have been very pleased every since.


KFC is paying 15$ an hour. LMFAO.

My 8 year old son can take this rifle dial to the number on the chart and make consistent hits out to 800. We are working on wind reads and barometrics a lot lately.



He will never suffer a Leupold unless he chooses to once he starts buying his own gear.

It’s typed genius. But if you think your lack of knowledge isn’t noticed by everyone. You are doing even better than you thought.

One thing that is always present, the azz shooting, gut soup crowd could have the best scope made and it wouldn’t fix the stupid!

The NXS 3.5-15x50 is the best in the NXS lineup by a good margin. Starting there would end your search.

That's a lot of ammo hanging on those guns if the scopes work. LOL. Or it could just be for the sake of posing, not that that's a thing with the NF crowd. LOL.

Remember my comments about members of the LHC who exaggerated their Leupold issues. LOL.

Thanks Dingo. I will keep that in mind… Will go to Scheels and take a look.

Take a look at some of them buttstock shell holders too. From the looks of it, you'll need them.

Probably gives those a pass. Not sure the way I hunt that an $1800 plus scope is a good idea. I’m kinda ruff on my equipment. Was looking more at the SHV line. But not the 56mm. That’s never going on my lightweight hunting rifle.

Camera land crushes the price everyone advertises. Call Doug.

PS
Paul make sure you keep that helmet covering your only point.
