[QUOTE="CUTTER1, post: 1834730, member: 94423"] I've had or have virtually every scope mentioned in this blog except Marsh. For years have had all kinds of Leupolds, only one I ever sent back was a couple years ago that wouldn't hold zero. I got it when I purchased several rifles from a collection. The owner told me he bought on line to replace a Tasco that had been on the gun but couldn't get the gun to shoot and thought it was the gun. I had the same experience and sent the in for repairs to find out it was counterfeit! Leupold wanted to keep it and made me an offer I couldn't refuse! I have multiple NF but had to send one of my ATACR's in because it wouldn't track right out of the box, they made it right in short order! I love Swarovski binos and spotting scopes but have sold all my riflescopes from them and won't buy another until they make so significant upgrades to compete with others on the market! I think every manufacturer I've had a scope from has had at least one go back for repairs! An original VX3 2.5-8 has been on a custom 6#10oz 375 Ackley Imp that felt recoil seams significantly more than my 470NE Double. That scope and rifle combo has been on 5 continents over 1000rds and taken a great many animals and has survived lots of abuse, it has never failed in anyway including to hold zero! Same collection included a Weaver "Turret Long Range" scope that tracks on the 22-250 it came on to 600y. I moved it to a 338LM just for fun to see if it would survive and it tracks like a champ to 1200y even with crap glass. After 50 rds of 338 it's back on the 22-250 shooting 0.5MOA! Go figure!
