Default RE: Leupold Rangefinders?

I think quality control lacks BIGTIME with the Leupold rangefinders..I was verydisapointed when I checked them out..
Especially with the RX3 and RX4.
Bottem line is the RX3 and RX4 took to long to gather the distance (and some never did)( and that was at areflective target that is just standing there)in the real hunting world the animals don't stand around for very long,theve even moved further out, sometimes closer in, or bugged out.
Not only do you need something that is quick and precise you need something that you can depend on in all hunting situations.You just don't get that with these Leupolds rangefinders..They let you down at the most opertunable time.....
With the Leupolds (and I tried many models at different locations only a small handfull of RX1andRX2 made the cut)
Maybe they've gotten the bugs out now,(I don't know I never checked one out sinse over a year ago)but with the Leupold name I woulda expected this to have happened before they even got on the market.
It was almost like they threw them out there to the consumer to cover their overhead knowing that lots of them still had problems but figured it would be a quick fix later
when costumer complaints came in and toldLeupold Managmentthe field problems their custumers were having with them...
I don't now about this company any more, all my scope optics are of the Old Leupold but until these guys smarten up and get back to basics, I won't by another product from them..
