Meh, Leupold isn't THAT bad. They are guilty of being stuck in their own success and then not doing shit for 15 years because they lived off of that Mk4 3.5-10 money starting from back when we were all retarded and shot with MIL reticles and MOA turrets.
I still have one for clone purposes on my Mk12 ModH and the Mk6 3-18 is the only optic I've had that on a large frame had zero mechanical issues.
Wait, @1J04 WTF happened to the Leatherwood or whatever the fuck scope that was?
I'm pretty certain you're talking about the coveted Whitetail Classic you've been trying to screw me outta.
