[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1207629, member: 12995"] I agree with both Rose and Rhian... I have personally owned several Leupolds over the years, and when at the gun shop sold tons of them to satisfied customers, and sent a few back to Leopold for customers. Their CS is great. We had one customer drop his rifle from the tree stand and it bent the tube, crushed the bell and shattered the objective glass. Sent it back, sent a note telling them what happened, and they sent him back a brand new one. My opinion is that Leupolds START at the VX-III line, and go up from there. Anything less is barely worthy of a .22 rifle...And price has nothing to do with it. None of mine had target turrets, so I can't confirm or deny on the poor tracking, but all of mine did hold zero very well, even on lightweight magnum rifles. Their glass is good, but I will agree that they seem to have the same glass quality as they always have. The new VX-III still has the same glass as the ones I had 10+ years ago. And it goes up from there. Whereas other companies are progressing with technology (like Vortex, the SHV scopes, Nikon, SWFA, and others) to produce a very high-quality product at an affordable price. Using modern lens coatings and glass making/polishing procedures. [/QUOTE]
