Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Is there a Reupold that actually fhuqking works?!?.....

Ha Ha Ha I would guess I have only owned some 20 Leupolds and I have sent more Leupy's back for repair than any other brand. To include some less expensive brands like Mueller.

Reupold being the drag queen iteration of Leupold should not track , gay being the opposite of straight. But, you don't really need any advice on the gay thing .

Holding zero is important, not failing is important, good optics important, spinning dials = WHY?

When my scopes were all made in El Paso or Denver, I never had an issue with holding zero or sending back to repair. I didn't give a [bleep] about spinning dials back then either. I have plenty of Leupolds and I'm not selling any anymore. Most of my Leupolds are M8 style, some are FX and some are VX, with only a few the newest variety of VX or FX. Recently I've been buying Fullfields.

I think the whole argument boils down to "I like Ford trucks more than Dodge trucks" or "my Chevy is much better than your Ford" and "Oh yeh, your choice sucks."

Sadly some of the older Weavers get very poor in the clarity aspect, some say because the lenses are glued together and the glue degrades.

I think that may be an issue. However, I have a Marksman, a K6, and a K3 that still function well. I have seen some old Weavers with clarity issues though. I didn't know about the glue thing.

I have several of the straight tube 3 and 2.5 power weavers, favorites actually. some with the glue issue, mostly 4 powers. It looks like bubbles in the glue where it has separated.

Love that Lile, Stick.

Had a couple over the years. One in stag, the other in black micarta.

Back Packer model.

The dot over the maker's mark denotes it was made in his shop after his death by his crew.

Think there is even chinese version of it now...


Thanks for the recommendation on the Moki, going to pick one up.

Put it into a Mandarin to English translator and it makes a whole lot more sense. haha

Don't have to worry about sticky doing that part. He will just lick the windows and pretend to have a happy, virtuous life, all the while proving he in fact does not.

That's my experience as well. Some work great forever and some don't.

Holy schitt PB!!!

An El Paso K2.5 holds zero on a prewar 70 SG '06, and did just as well on a 10/22 before that. Have Lyman Permacenters that also hold zero. Tracking isn't per nominal increments. Can live with that.

Leupolds look nice on safe-queens. For rimfires that get used alot replaced all but one Leup with SWFAs. I dial rimfires sometimes. Can't stand Leup non-repeatable, non-linear adjustments. The zeroing shuffle bothers me more than any other shortcoming. Sick of having to whack a scope after adjustments....knowing it may not settle in. Which means I have to make one...two....?...trips to the range to see if "suggestions" were heeded.

Warranty is good. An M8 turned into a rattle, and the AO on a 3-9EFR stopped AO-ing. So there's a plus. I think. Haven't broken a SWFA yet.

Only point of disagreement with Stick is that once zero is validated couple times they've held zero over many seasons. So far. Long shot here is around 250 yds, so no need to dial. Have 1" VX3s on .300s and a .375R.

Long as I don't change load specifics.....

Im sure this is why experience has been positive. Where i live, twusting turrets isnt needed for the most part. We hunt swamps and heavy thickets. Some open wooded areas, but most shots are inside 200yds

Yep, me too. I hunt the swamps and marsh grass and we are forced to hunt. I climb trees and hide for the ambush . My deer this years was 25 yds. with my piece of crap RAR .243 WIn with a mild load and 100 gr Remington coreloc hand load. Not sure what I need all those turrets for... and the .700 ballistic coefficient bullets. I cant believe haw far some dudes here shoot their deer on this thread. Cudos to them, but I dont get to hun that way.

My VX5-HD 3-15 has worked fine for several years on a 7mm Rem. As of right now, I would buy another one. To my eyes, the eyebox is nice and the glass sharp.

I haven't taken pics at the range before to use for reviews of a rifle or scope...so no photography to post about tracking.

I don't shot a round count anywhere close to what Bigstick post. The scope and rifle above have appx 200 rounds.

"BC" is a term VERY troubling to Melting Snowflake Crying Karens,their trembling lips and High Pitched Nasal Whine. Hint.

HILARIOUSLY,one can't field a Modern Scope,less turret imput and that too cause Estrogen Levels to rise in The Paper Hat Brigade. Hint.

Just sayin'.

Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!...............

Alot of people dont take any time to learn about it and how it affects a bullets trajectory. You guys are awesome with the long shots. Always enjoyed seeing those skills on display. Like i said, my shots are almost all inside of 200yds, so itd not something i need to worry about when hunting here.

Starting velocity,ain't impact velocity and Boobs routinely miss that constant. Hint.

BC is the impetus,which controls same,to the chagrin of Crying Karens the World over. Hint...................

Agreed

Physics ain't "subjective". Hint.

If only to the chagrin of Crying Karens the World over. Hint................
