Due her "means","abilities" and "comprehension",she can't even begin to fhuqking fathom the magnitude,because she's forced to use herself as a barometer. The Insecurities ooze incessantly and are VERY well founded,as she files perpetual Hurt Feeler Reports and vindicates her Professional Victim Status. The only thing she can offer in the first hand,are the sweet satisfactions that are her's,in "living" vicariously. Hint.
Pardon the simplistic fact,that I have 100's of scopes to extrapolate and that not all wares are equal,despite their billing. Hint.
The 18.5# Vudoo,will RELIABLY extract mechanical aptitude. She "gets" to read about such Splendors. Hint.
Her NEED to somehow tie herself to me,is fhuqking HILARIOUS! Reality being,she can't even begin to "do" for herself. Hint.

Wow! What a thread. I'm going to go out on a limb here. I'd be willing to bet that most of the posters in this thread, if they met one another "in real life" and didn't know who each other was on this forum, would probably actually get along with one another and probably even become friends. Maybe that is Pollyanna type thinking and I know it is pure speculation but it's probably a good bet just based on shared interests. Back to the show. Happy New Year everyone.

For those slow on the uptake (burns and his sidekick). Spotting scopes don't have erector systems.....
A matter of semantics perhaps, but spotters require an "image reversal" system which has also be called an "erector system" assuming one wants an image that is not upside down and reversed. It can consist of either prisms or lenses. In a spotter it would be a static system unlike a rifle scope where it can be housed in an "erector tube assembly" which also includes the reticle and is moved to adjust point of impact.
Hell...you puke a MK4 FFP TMR Spotter for the 3rd time and you "win" a new erector assembly,from The Amazingly Inept CLUELESS Fhuqks. Hint.
To be continued. Hint................
Would bitching about a spotter you knew was a pile of crap before you bought it, busting not qualify you for "Amazingly inept clueless fuqk" status? Especially the third time! Bitching is definitely a virtue in the world of heavyweights. John and John Jr need Leupold more than either can admit for different reasons but the same at the exact same time.
The fear of simply confirming results is interesting to see. The "legend" of stick only grows here at the campfire if his results are confirmed accurate using precision tech. Heck, one would think his pards would want him to send the scope to have his results verified.
If testing scopes in a fixture really worked, the boys on the slide wouldn’t be doing drop tests. Hint.
No Leupold has passed yet. All have been a disaster. Hint.
I would bet money that the scope In question would fail their test.
So you're gonna send it (the scope, not the spotter)to an independent tester for free, as offered, right?

Ya they just happen to be evaluating the only scopes that don't work as they should...
As goalie has stated, it’s retarded to make a general statement about the Reliable functioning of reputable brand of optic or model
This particular scope was owned by a competitive shooting buddy of mine. He had it on a hunting rifle and used it extensively. He had the scope available for sale when another friend needed to scope a hunting rifle for a once in a lifetime hunt. Friend number two bought the scope, had a precision mount performed and evaluation, and it tested perfect. Exact words from the tester were “this is the most perfect scope we’ve ever tested”
Even though that’s true, it would be foolish to generalize that every Mark 5 of the same model functions exactly the same way.
The offer to test the scope at no charge, including shipping both ways, stands, but it seems it won’t be accepted
You probably oughta ask yourself why a generous offer like that would not be accepted.

You should take every one of your rifles out of the safe and drop them from 3 feet, three times at different points of impact onto a padded surface.
You’d have to be an idiot to do that number one. And if you did that and expected not to see some sort of point of impact shift, you’re even more of an idiot.
You’ve reached maximum idiot status if you think the point of impact shifts are due solely to the scope, and not how the scope is attached to the rifle.

You Whining Brokedick Professional Victims,be SURE to get all your Hurt Feeler Reports filed,before The Kchunt Clock starts anew at midnight. Hint.

Have you had any first hand experiences or dealings with said gunsmith or his equipment, or just parroting what you read/saw on this thread? Just saying, if you’re promoting this test you should have first hand knowledge that the smith and his equipment are capable. Not saying he is or isn’t, and would assume he is if Rick uses him, but without any personal experience I’d personally not proffer an opinion.
As well as asking a few acquaintances where one didn't know of him, and two did and heard "good things"
The offer wasn't for the scope to go to an unknown hack, and the obvious attempts to ignore and/or thread slide on the hopes that the offer is forgotten is very telling and amusing.
Lastly, if you want to look at it objectively, the multiple posters here repeating the "if Rick uses him" line like that's a bad thing collectively have less hardware from national long range shooting events.
I'm the end, considering what the initial tester has said and done historically, it seems illogical NOT to do this, especially for free. It wouldn't even void his warranty.
Missed your personal experience/first hand knowledge of his work? Is he a Leupold dealer? Any affiliation with them etc… not questioning his integrity but things someone should know before automatically coming to the conclusion that he’s impartial. Not sure what Rick having more “long range hardware” has to do with my question, he should, he’s a long range shooting competitor. Rick pushing for his guy to test the scope makes sense, you parroting it from the back row doesn’t.

100% agree, the whole drop test infatuation is completely retarded.
I also agree with your remarks about making general statements about a product based on reports, but at this price point, there’s should be so few leaving the shop with any issues to cause this discussion in the first place.
Wow, you are the best! Please post a photo of your trophy case to share your accomplishments with the 24HCF.
I'll bet it's fabulous! We are lucky to have you here! My hero!
