Re: More heresy - scopes on doubles

Since I find Caribou to be very nearly inedible, just like the lichen they eat, I don't hunt them. For the elk, moose, and deer I do hunt, a 2X has worked very well indeed for me, for 38 years now - without ever a failure of any sort.

As to Leupold, only one had a problem with poi changes, along with one Redfield.

To Leupold's defence, it is the only scope that will take coming in out of a sub freezing weather and get dunked into a bucket of hot water wihtout fogging - saw that with 3 of them- to my utter amazement.

I another camp, just a few years ago, I saw 2 Zeiss scopes on the client's rifles fog in very wet weather that was well above freezing, while my friend's Leupold and both my 3-9 M3200 & my brother's old 2-1/2X Bushnel custom, didn't fog in the slightest - same hunt, same weather.

There are good and bad in all scopes, it seems.
