I think. Now this is just opinion. You are ticked at Leupold cause the 3 piece design. And now, you have swore them off. Never to have them again and bashing every one anybody talks too. I did a quick lookup and you have not missed bashing Leupold on every post since the 3 piece thing came out. I try to fair and objective and give credit where it is due. I wished I lived closer, so we could take a fair look at them both together. One comparison out in the field is not enough to warrent swearing that Zeiss is best.
