I was at Cabellas yesterday because they have a huge scope selection I can look through. I spent about an hour with the head scope guy. He told me that Leupold are poor scopes. He told me I should be buying a Zeis Conquest, Nikon Monarch Gold, or Swarvoski or perhaps even a Burris before I buy a Leupold. I do think Zeiss is better but I was really surprised at how down he was on the Leupold Scopes. This is coming from the guy that is their scope expert and that is all he does. What do you guys think about this?
I think poor scope is pushing it. I do think they are extremely over priced for what you get. I have done about 4 experiments between my Aetec and my VXII and there is no competition. The Aetec is much clearer and has better visibility in low light. That is a 70% difference in price. Both of these scopes are brand new.
