RE: Scopes for less than $300
Yup. I've only had this one Leupold so I can't comment on others. However, I will say I have 2 buddies with them and one other one had the same problem I did where it adjusted itself. He sent it to Leupold for repair and sold it. Well, traded it when it got back so he never got to see if it was fixed or not. I'd say 2 out of 3 of the scopes I know of being bad isn't a good ratio. The other buddy with one got one on his muzzle loader he got before this last hunting season. He will tell you he hasn't shot it enough to know if he likes it or not.
I'm not saying that they are all bad as from what I understand the majority of them are problem free and great I'm just saying I wasn't one that got one that was great nor was my buddy. They do have great customer service I must say though. I can't complain much about that. The actual customer service was great the fact that it broke a 2nd time is all I can complain about.
