BC I am not getting into another Zeiss vs Leupold contest. There has been entirely too much of that in the past. If your happy with Leupold so be it I think in a lot of areas they beat out their competition especially the fixed and compact scopes. In other areas they simply fell behind. Between 3 of my good friends we have been loyal Leupold buyers for years but now realize there are equally good and sometimes better buys.
