[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 85482, member: 2852"] I agree with all of you. LONG LIVE LEUPOLD! There, I said it, [i]again.[/i] I sorta let some of our other members of this board irritate me for awhile with their anti-Leupold biases because of their own [i]superiority complex[/i] attitudes with the "European" scope companies and then I realized I have nothing to be upset about. I can pick up any copy of NBRSA news and read the equipment lists and guess what, the majority of the competitors are still shooting Leupy's. That goes for the 1k crowd AND the 100-200 yard crowd as well. If the Euro's can't handle that fact, oh well. Take heart in the fact that Aldo Leupold was in fact a German surveyor by profession. He immigrated to the United states in the early 1900's and started a binocular and rifle scope business that has prevailed until this day.
