[QUOTE="beta1759, post: 564984, member: 38518"] I dont have any of Leupold's older scopes, but i absolutely love their scopes. Never had any issues and i think their glass is great as far as i can tell. In regards to their scopes being china junk, i COMPLETELY DISAGREE. I have actually taken a tour at their factory and i can tell you that they design, manufacture and assemble ALL THEIR SCOPES here in the US. Do they import glass? im sure of it. But im also sure 99% of the other companies do as well. The one complaint i have heard is that the leupold scopes are expensive, but as mentioned earlier on this thread, its because you pay for the lifetime warranty and customer service. Could I buy some european scopes which would be cheaper and of the same quality? Probably. But i take pride in knowing my money stays here in the states instead of to europe or somewhere else. To the person who started this thread, have you sent it in for repair? With anything mechanical, you are bound to have mechanical failures. I have seen the impact test machine and the water submission machine used at leupold and can tell you that they really do try and make sure all their products are fault proof, but we all know its impossible to do that with anything mechanical.
