Seeing everyone saying they are good, I will have to be Devil's Advocate and say they are crap!

Ha ha. Not true.

Leupold's are good mid ranged scopes. Zeiss, S&B, Swarovski, Leica etc are held to be higher standard. And usually a multiple price as well.

Tacticool scopes such as Nightforce the same.

A BIG problem and that word is appropriate is these brands are getting bigger, wider and heavier each new model.

This might be OK for jaegers doing all their hunting from a tree stand or hochsitz. Or from a stationary driven game stand. Or for moonlight night shooting.

I know some of our NE members don't mind Leupolds, but can't bring themselves to put one on a H&H or Purdey rifle!

Now if I acquired my new ideal global hunting rifle, a side by side double rifle in .375 Flanged, I want it low power scoped. For longer shots on plains game, precise buffalo herd shots etc. A big 30 mm or 35 mm monstrosity on such a rifle? Awful. And affects the balance. Also MUST be regulated for when the rifle is made.

A 1-4x or 1 1/2-5x 25 mm Leupold would be a far better choice. I know I would prefer a Swaro or S&B, etc but not a huge fat long weighty scope.

I have a Leupold on my .375 at the moment. Another on my .308 BLR. Other rifles as well.

If big bore shooters on NE say the Leupold performs well, it really means something worth listening to.
