Now there are some like yours that are accurate, and in fact a hunting buddy got one this year that shoots pretty good. However, that still doesn't change the fact that 98% of the people I've talked to, or the ones I've seen have been pretty inaccurate, until finding a load it likes and then it's still only decent performance. I will mention that the majority of people I know with BAR's that have BOSS have a lot better luck, but the older ones don't have the BOSS either, so that doesn't really seem to matter too much.
Thank you for proving my point. Experience cannot be feigned. You searched the internet and found what you wanted to hear. Thank you again, you proved my point in spades.
I'm not sure how having bad luck with Leupold and good luck with other scopes means I lack experience, but whatever. I've had several scopes and the Leupold VX-I's I have are the only ones I've ever had issues with. Some weren't my favorite so I sold or traded them, but they worked fine. I have a Bushnell Elite Tactical too, and to be honest, I'm not in love with it either.
Oh my goodness, this is priceless entertainment. So you went from owning one VX1 (this is what you said last year) now you say you own two. But now, you have owned an bushnell elite. How is life in that world?
