[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1854449, member: 26227"] The more I see people banter back and forth about Leupold and such. I have put my eyes behind many scopes. the best glass, in my opinion, I know is S&B, for some reason their coatings work for me. I have put my eye behind numerous scopes. Leupolds, Zeiss (never a bad scope), S&B (never a bad scope), Swari (never a bad scope), IOR Valdada (never a bad scope), US Optics (wish I owned one just so I could comment on their outrageous prices), Tasco (one good scope got beat to death) , Bushnell (this scope brand I have never had any luck with), weaver (one good scope but it's loosing zero regularly now) , simmons (still kicking myself for ever putting that scope on my rifle), Night Force (dang good scopes never a problem with the one I had) and Nikons (very decent scopes, bad people to deal with). I have yet to have a bad experience with Leupold customer service. I had one scope that got a round through it from another hunter on the opposite side of the canyon from me.. I reckon he thought I was a deer hiding in Natural Gear. the scope still worked but the reticle was gone. that scope was fixed and delivered to me for what I thought was a very reasonable price. I own 5 or 6 VX-3's I want to up-grade to the Mark 5's or another line with a 4X or 5X magnification range. I am looking hard at Leupold right now and I am liking what I see. I like the Horus #58 or 59 reticle. Side note. I am really ****ed with some MF up in Montana, not sure he was a native just some SOB passing through I think. there is a rifle out there marked "277-7R/M" or "270 H-Mag" I forget which I had it marked. it's a model 70 Win, oiled stock, bedded action, .750 muzzle, twist was a 1:8", Holland muzzle brake, Leupold weaver style bases and 30MM rings with a S&B PMII 3-15X50MM scope. If anyone knows the whereabouts of this scope I would like to have it back. [/QUOTE]
