We have nice rifles and "claw hammer" rifles (the ones that live in the truck or the corner of the workshop).
Claw hammer rifles here wear Leupolds because they stay put, because when you need a rifle, you need it.
Some guys will complain about anything, like the so called mechanics who bitch about Craftsman hand tools - they've always given me excellent service for what they cost, just like Leupold scopes.

But those are probably the same people who can tear up an anvil with a rolled up newspaper....
