I will say I know a lot more guys with cheap scopes and have used 2 or 3 myself and I don't know many that have had failures. Not saying they are great just everyone I personally know has had a failure with a Leupold where as I know quite a few guys with cheap scopes as in $50-100 Simmons mostly and a couple Tasco's and Bushnells and not many of them have had failures.

I'm just saying I've had bad luck with mine. I would have chalked it up to having a lemon as I know every company makes lemons. However, it seems like it's more of a crappy quality scope when I only know 2 others with Leupold scopes and both have had exactly the same problem.


In my reading online I've read a lot of reports of people saying the VX-I isn't a very good scope. Why put out a pos scope and charge $250 for it? That's not a company I want to deal with. For $250 a scope should never ever have a issue.

As for you owning more Leupolds than I do guns you probably do. You wouldn't have to own very many Leupold scopes to own more than I do guns since I don't have many.
