[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2440345, member: 30902"] That would narrow things down pretty quickly for me. A few years back I got bitten by the bug and bought 5 identical scopes all by the "hottest" new maker on the block at better than 1,000.00 per scope. Two years later I sold them all at a considerable loss on Ebay just to get rid of them because I was fed up with having to send them back for warranty work repeatedly. I'll never drop that kind of cash on another scope without having spent some serious time looking through not just that maker's products but the same line or even specific model I'm considering with the exception of 1 and That's Leupold. I've never felt like I got less than what I expected or paid for with a Leupold Product so they pretty well have earned my blind loyalty after more than 30 scopes over better than 40 years. Best of all, in all of that time I've only ever had to sent two in for any sort of warranty or repair work and in both cases it was due to something I did to the scope. One had a horse roll on it and the other had a bad fall. Both resulted in new scopes even though I told them what I'd done. [/QUOTE]
