I have a Leupold 1.5 x5 on my .375 and a Leupold 1 3/4 to 6 on my .416--to date each has withstood several trips to Africa and several hundred rounds of ammo with no problems what so ever.

The reason I choose what I did is that I purchased a custom rifle for a gentleman in Texas who sells all brands mentioned--he stated that he has fewer Leupolds back than any other scope--

I also have Swarovskis on some of my longer range rifles in addition to having a couple pair of their bino's--agree their glass is second to none..
