[QUOTE="Coopershawk, post: 1301589, member: 90458"] I suppose I would expect the NUMBER of Leupold repairs to be high since their sales are astonomical compared to many others. Also with 110 years of production I'd guess there are a good number still floating around to break. But you are saying the PERCENTAGE of current production is failing worse than any other brand? Not trying to be snarky. It's just that all the online brand battles seem to favor the premium niche market since we don't really have the numbers. If I buy a $2500 NF I'd expect it to hold up. But if I buy a $200 Leupold lightweight hunting scope, strap it on a 50 BMG and start "spinning the dials" I'd expect a quick exit. Is the problem with the Leupold that the turret is built for "set it and forget it" as opposed to the newer application? What exactly is failing? Is there a cheap plastic part in the turret? Quality control or just bad design? [/QUOTE]
