I have had three leupolds. Had to send two of them back. They replaced them with two which were no better that the two I sent back. They were the least clear scopes I ever had but at least they were very spendy. Clearest Scope I ever had and the second longest lasting is a 6X tasco world class. Forty bucks. Yep I Got what I paid for. Been using it for 20 seasons SO FAR. I have a 30 year old Redfield tracker. It cost about 60.00 when I got it. I have had in on many rifles from 222 to 416 Rem Mag. I quess what I am saying is that I am spending all the money that I need to spend. Quess we can all do the same. Happy Spending!!
