[QUOTE="GonzoK34, post: 1889412, member: 8915"] I have had many leupold rifle scopes. But sold them after an Elk Hunt in Colorado due to a scope failure turret tracking out the window. Back in camp I replaced it with another Leupold and successfully harvested a nice 5x5. I sent that scope in for repairs when I got it back I sold 3 leupolds and bought a NF. Many years later hunting on horse back in late November with heavy snow my scabbard strap broke while climbing a steep ravine to gain alititude. My rifle slipped out sliding 75 yds down the draw. I never noticed it fall. When I got to a bench I tied off my horse and reached for the rifle. Crap jumped back on the horse and backtracked. Found the rifle barrel plugged with snow and ice. Took my military cleaning rod and punch the bore clean. Laid down bore sighted on a tree knob and looked thru the scope reticle was centered on the knob. The next morning I shot a 5x5 bull. I buy NF and have never looked back. [/QUOTE]
