[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2977397, member: 115299"] Depending on the stages and barriers, cars or whatever they are crawling in an out of these days those rifles get banged around a lot more than most hunting set ups will ever see. Stages are 1-2 minute stages shot from five different positions two shots each. Nice of you to check the standings. I haven't looked at them in a few years. Leupold has not been in the thick of things in a few years maybe they are now. The Scopes that find themselves most in the top 100 are really limited to a few companies and models. NF, Vortex, Kahles, Schmidt Bender with Vortex, NF and S&B trading places in the rankings a lot. Tangent Theta and ZCO are the new kids on the block.
