Default RE: Your take on scopes

ORIGINAL: stubblejumper

Used to own? Whywould you sell them? If they were good, why not keep them? If they weren't why did you buy more than one?
I sold my Leupolds to replace them with scopes that offer me superior optics.I bought most of those scopes many years ago whem Leupold offered a superior product for the price.However,over the last ten years or so,the competition has caught up,and in my opinion offers even more value for the price.The most Leupold that I sold was a VXIII 6.5x20x40 that I grew tired of having to move my head back and forth whenever I adjusted the magnification.I bought it because I wanted a lower mounted 40mm scope in that magnification range,but then realized that I was better off with a slightly higher mounted 50mm scope without the hugely varying eye relief.
I haven't bought a new Leupold in a long long time... The old ones are working just fine... BUT, i did buy a Zeissa fewmonths ago, and it's going on my"go to"gun...

IF i had been making money all those years instead of spending so much time hunting, i could now replace all of my scopes over and over to get what ever i wanted... lol
