I happen to own many more Leupolds than any other single make, about 20-25 I'd say. Leupold makes great stuff and great sizes, such as 1-4 and 2-7 that I prefer for most all my hunting. But to my eyes a Zeiss in the same $$ range is simply a better quality scope. However, there are lots of reasons to ultimately purchase one scope over another and in the future I'll still look at Leupold, but would never hesitate to add to my Zeiss collection either.
