Never buy a scope that isnt a Leupold.40 years of hunting, never a problem with one.Even if you did, you can send it in and they will fix it or replace it.Not that I have ever had to do it-but if you should have a problem with one you can send it in and get it replaced EVEN if you are not the original owner.

Here is what you stated earlier. I do agree that Leupoldhas good customer service and if they are what you want then fine. Just remember that there are better scopes whichcost more but at the same time there are scopes which cost less, but perform comparably to Leupold.

Blue jeans are blue jeans until you put the brand name on them.I have been using leupolds for over 40 years,during which time I have NEVER had to send one back.I did have a friend who had to send back a 6x20 due to a seal.The scope was 7 years old.They sent him a brand new one,no questions asked.I buy things based on how reliable the product is,look at it this way-I dont have a problem carrying a Glock or something of that (so called) quality---but believe me, somewhere I will have something reliable to back me up like a S&W 686.Point being,most people buy products based on the names of products thinking they are getting some TOP QUALITY product becuz of the name on it..when in reality all they are paying for is the name on it.I will put any of my Leupolds up against any other scope out there. Bushnell Elite has rainguard-does that make it a quality scope??? NOPE -dont think so.Your preferences are just different than mine.Go ahead and Pay the extra 600.00 to get the same power scope I have and I will kill the same thing you will at the exact same yardage your scope will -I just paid 700.00 for my scope and you paid 1500.00 for yours,but that deer will never know the difference.

If you are not buying the best, then whatever you do buy is 2nd rate.....

RE: leupold VX-lll
I used to think leupolds were the cat's meow and have several of the ol vari-x models. Then one day I looked thru a swaro. Another thing I don't like is when leupy switched all the models to vx. I can't quite compare them, and have not really taken the time to try,as I knew I'd always be able to count on my old leupys to work well, but alsoknew it was time to look at some other brands.
