[QUOTE="BigGrizz, post: 1467069, member: 85529"] With the amount of products being manufactured everyone is going to have a lemon slip out the door unless they use a near pure artisan manufacturing method. Yesterday I was at the Sportsman's Warehouse in Casper. I was with someone interested in buying a NF NXS. We looked at the full range from a low-end SHV to a $2600 ATACR. The SHV was the buy of the bunch due to the poor optics quality in comparison. One particular ATACR was fuzzy in the upper quarter of the optics. Very disappointing, but at least it's still sitting in the showcase and not on someone's rifle. I personally have never had a problem with a Leupold, and when it comes to riflescopes it's the brand I go to first. Binos OTOH I shop around quite a bit. I do prefer and appreciate that Leupold makes an effort to produce major products in the U.S. compared to some other brands. It really is to each his own, and I think a lot of people want to believe they have the best product available- if you've ever had a marketing class and/or formal marketing training then you know how incredibly subjective that is, and people are brand loyal for reasons they aren't completely aware of. I would say shop and research the scopes that fit your purpose and then start to narrow it down. Most people are going to be satisfied with what they buy as the major brands on the market today are not in the business of producing garbage as some would have you believe. Also consider you do not always get the full background of the environment and type of use a product has gone through before a review. You only ever really get the high points. [/QUOTE]
