[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 929680, member: 41442"] id say dollar for dollar theres a couple brands like vortex and nikon that are as good as a leupold but i still dont see any that are hands down better. I think these days its kind of gun cool for lack of better words to bash leupold. I think some think there looking like they know optics when they critisize something that others think is good and some that feel the need to justify the off brand stuff they buy by saying there better then a leupold. Buy what you want but ive used leupolds for over 30 years. Have had very little trouble with them. When i have leupolds been first rate taking care of those troubles. Maybe 5 years ago with there varyx line of scopes they were starting to fall behind in the bang for the buck race. but the newer vx line of leupolds is as good as anything in there price range. Think about it this way. the vx1 your buying today has the same coatings on the glass and the same mechanics that a varixIII had 10 years ago and can be bought for a bit over 200 bucks which is half what that old vari xIII cost 10 years ago and thats a bargin considering everything else in life has gotten more expensive. that brings up another thing that happens with these comparisons. Someone goes and buys themselves a new vortex and takes it home and compares it to a 20 year old leupold. take that same scope and compare it to a new leupold and id bet your tune will change.
