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

No doubt, Leupold have the most comprehensive scope lineup of any manufacturer at the moment. Objective sizes in 10mm increments from 20mm up to 60mm I believe.

Realistically, the 40mm odd objective size in 3-12 power with side focus, locking elevation dial and capped windage is the most versatile scope you can get.

Leupold have a few variants of this in terms of price/quality as well, makes it more likely to appeal when compared to other manufacturers who only make one flavour per objective size.

However, I'd be willing to pay up to 25% more for a Swaro with the same features (z8i), as pricing on the high end Leupold scopes don't make sense once you buy them outside of America. You are paying more for shipping and export tax before markup is factored in.

Not only that, but the scope tube anodising and engraving on Leupolds look and feel cheap.

Can't beat forever warranty though!
