Not my intention. I own more scopes that's aren't Leupold by far. Don't care what you use. Just don't tell me what I need to do the hunting that I do.

The difference between my opinion and yours is that I actually own and use both Leupold and Alpha level glass where as you just make halfassed guesses.

No one ever told you what scope to use moron. Your the one that came on this thread stating leupold was just as good as alpha glass for 300yd shots which it simply isn’t despite your foot stomping. Alpha glass will always beat your beloved leupolds, facts are still facts.

Your also the one that came on this thread bashing alpha glass that you’ve admittedly never used. No one said leupolds didn’t work fine as set and forget but they aren’t the grail you claim either.


The only alpha glass you have discussed is the Swarovski z6. Yep Swaro glass is very nice but many others in the same price range equal or beat the Swaro in light transmission, have better mechanics, more adjustment range, better reticles etc. yes the Z6 is a nice scope but for the money it has concessions without any benefits I can see vs several other makers models.

I own many scopes. Even some I paid too much for (Swaro Z-6). But what I have learned is that where I hunt for my circumstances there isn't a damn thing I can do with a 2000 dollar scope that I can't do with a 700 dollar one. Nothing! So why drop the extra cash? And the answer is that there is just no reason to do it.

There is several reason why alpha glass is better for what you do which have been clearly discussed ad naiseum here. You just choose to deny the facts that have been posted.

I have yet to see anyone use alpha glass and not admit it was indeed better then the mid level scopes they had on their rifles. I’ve also yet to see someone buy alpha glass and not comment about what they are missing when they get behind lesser glass.

Sure that level of clarity, adjustment , durability etc may not be needed but it’s still factually better despite your repeated claims it isn’t.

No one here ever even claimed you NEEDED alpha for the way you hunt but the fact it is indeed better in all ways then the examples you gave is still a fact. It’s up to each hunter how they spend their money and some of us choose to spend good money on glass.

And that is where you are wrong again. I said I didn't need a target scope for hunting. And that some of the target scopes like SWFA while possessing certain features that are good for long range shooting did not have the best glass or light transmission. I clearly stated waaaaay back in this thread that you could indeed get all the target scope features you desire and high quality glass and good low light performance BUT that you would pay a damn high price for it. I can go back and find the post if you like. My point has consistently been why pay for those target scope features if you do not need them, There are still lots of places where a set it and forget it light weight hunting scope with good glass is all you need.

Like what? I need to be able to see the animal during legal shooting light through my scope. Good low light performance is needed; a scope that won't fog up is needed; a scope that holds zero is needed; but I'm not taking photographs for National Geographic. I'm using a scope as an aiming device to kill something. I have no problem doing it with what I have.

I don't have Leupold hate, but I hate that I need to send a couple of my 6x42s in to stop their rattling.

I have a VX-II 4-12x40AO sitting in Talley lightweights. Am I doubly cursed?

In the interest of full disclosure I did have to send that one in to get the innards tightened up.

Ya, you’re done.

Might as well sit back, pop open a nice cold Coors Light and some Jack on ice while you wait for your destiny.
