Rifle Scope Field Evaluations

Thanks for the link! I did find individual reviews. I thought maybe it was a comparison of a number of scope brands in one review! I'll scan the individual reviews and find the Leupold scopes. Thanks for clearing this up for me!

Leupold has a long history of failed zero's , is this new for most everyone on here?... that's why NF took off with their NXS series

I was burned thrice by leupold the last couple years. Just like vortex, leupolds have a great warranty and customer service…that you will likely be using! But components and time frustrations are expensive. Admittedly im hard on stuff though with a lot of backpacking and moto hunts. NightForce has solved all of my issues thus far. Just wish they would lock their turrets and cap their windage. For gods sake NF!! Locks and caps please

The Night Force Video was really excellent. A true torture test ! I was Impressed they would shoot it twice and hammer nail with it. I own about 12 or 13 Leupold Scopes and two Sightrons, I think I need a at Leat One Night Force Scope. I will draw the line at Freezing it, as that application is usually reserved for Vodka.

I have run tests similar to that of the OP, pitting various brands of scopes against each other. Although the optical quality of the SWFA scopes I have is not on par with some very expensive scopes I have used, they frequently post the best groups of all, and they have never broken down. They are the ones I turn to whenever I absolutely, positively need a scope that will not fail.

Rugged reliability simply has no equal, never had any of my SWFA's puke on me. All of my main hunting rigs wear a 6x MQ… 6x for utility killing, 10x is for fun for my use…

Update. They said a lense in the erector assembly was loose. Waiting to get it back. In retrospect I think that I bought this scope second hand and have used it on four different rifles.

Probable the reason why somebody else let it go. I had a problem years ago with a a luepold scope. It wouldn't hold it's zero. Sent it in and they fixed it No charge. At the same time I had traget adjustment placed on it at the same time. Cost wasn't much. Never had a problem with again. I have had luepold hold there zero for years.
Placing another scope to see what does should have been the first thing do due.
The other is I have had scopes that sat for years that they wouldn't adjust. Never had a luepold that wouldn't adjust
