Thread: Leupold Scopes are NOT worth the money....IMO

Each is good in it's own way but none are perfect.

Exactly mate they add "features" that often aren't necessarily beneficial to hunters and sometimes are a negative in terms of weight added and adding complication to things that don't need it. I'd prefer that weight was in extra barrel or a suppressor. Different situations for everyone. I carry A rifle way more than I shoot it. So I want a reliable setup that will dial to a few hundred if I need and just work without weighing me down.
