Re: A newbie question about Leupold scopes.
I did not contact them because I have several friends (one being very notable and credible, but I don't think he would like his name being thrown around with his opinions) who have had the same problems with them and it seems to be quite common. Just call the Portland, Oregon SWAT Department and ask them of their opinions of Leupold. I believe they are in the process or have already switched to Nightforce because while most of us may only miss a target, they have lives to worry about. However, I do know that with any factory defects, or if the scope goes down they will set you straight, and they are very professional on the phone and will answer any "dumb" questions you may have.
