Love my VX6-HD 3-18x44, no issues yet, fingers crossed. If scoping a rifle today...google search Leica ER5 4-20x50, Europtic has them half off for some reason. Only been able to find it through a google search. Probably because they are closing.
83% of all statistics are made up.

What types of failures and were they across all series? No brand preferences, the Leupold just fit what I was looking for to put on a new rifle. Just a higher rate of failure across the board the last few years than previously.

I have a vx5 and so far it has been great. Tracked perfectly when sighting in and very clear glass What does that mean to you that it tracked perfectly? How did you test it? I'm not at all saying that they won't adjust or serve as a hunting scope but I've never seen one that would track perfectly. I mean did you shoot a measured grid or did you just shoot a group and guess how far it was from the center and then guess how many clicks you needed, and you saw that it moved about where you thought and then adjusted a little more? I'm really not knocking you if that's what you are talking about tracking perfectly because that's what nearly everyone does and nearly what everyone means when they say that their scope tracks perfectly,and that's why scope manufacturers get away with producing scopes that really don't track perfectly.

My Leupolds would adjust but not track perfectly. Unless you are shooting a precisely measured grid a box test is only telling you that you have repeatable adjustments,not how accurate those adjustments are. Even then the margin of error can be combined with shooter error and won't give you an accurate test. The only way to really measure adjustments is with a chart when the scope is held in a vice. Leupolds typically fail miserably.

Looked through a Vx5 last week it was nice, but i grabbed a Vxr 4-12×50 And a Nikon black 1,000 instead... How do you like that Nikon black 1000? I like it, it's a no frills nothing fancy scope, but the glass is clear and the illuminated reticle is nice. I was just in there to pick-up the Vxr but they just got a few Nikons back in stock so i snagged one.
How many people am i willing to sacrifice for freedom? Everyone. All of them...
