[QUOTE="shphtr, post: 1446746, member: 6162"] After 20+ years of using Leupold’s without problems for Alaskan sheep hunting I decided to try a nightforce as I needed something bombproof for overseas mountain hunting. Did fine for Russian Tur, no problems for a Spanish Gredos hunt in the rain but when I pulled my rifle up for a Rhonda Ibex it was fogged .....much to my surprise and chagrin!! I have gone back to my trusty Leupold exclusively in Mark 4 format for several years now without another hiccup and now the VX6-HD. Of course Nightforce repaired the scope .... but I would have preferred that they reimburse me for the hunt!! By going back to Leupold my thinking was I was willing to potentially sacrifice a little in optical clarity to gain some in robustness. My only regret is my lack of fidelity to Leupold!! That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it. [/QUOTE]
