That’s a good price as long as the scope isn’t trashed, Leupolds aren’t known for their ruggedness.Originally Posted by efm77
But I just checked the warranty policy and it’s extended to all owners. If the G23c I have listed sells before this thing sells I’m buying it.

I thought so too. I've considered buying it, but really prefer the large barrel shank so that's deterring me. Leupolds not known for ruggedness? I think you're the first person I've ever heard say that. They may not be as good as they used to be but I've always heard that's one of their great selling points, is being tough.
I know people who send them in at 500 rounds because they know it won’t make 1000. Considering the lifetime warranty I have no problem with them but I don’t use them on magnum cartridges.

Wow, I've never run in to anyone having those kinds of problems with them before. Everyone around here always talks about how rugged they are. Not arguing with you at all, just surprised to hear that about them.
Thanks to all for the information. I will probably put it on Gunbroker.
There really isnt any point to arguing over it anyway.
Besides, apparently you havent heard they also have a lousy eyebox.
Ive looked hard and cant even find any eyebox on any of mine. lol
I guess I haven't lol. Especially considering I have a few VX-3's and they seem to be just fine.
I’m sure your being funny but for the new kids, the eye box is referring to how precisely your eye needs to sit behind the scope in relation to where it was when you sighted it in so that the poi will not change. And yes compared to some high end scopes leupold is subpar. Of course I’m too poor to buy that kind of glass.

I actually dont try to be funny, i simply repeat some of what i read on the internet.
Realize if you can that new terms seem to be created for old issues and some of us get lost in all of it.
Before the internet for example and the world became much smarter, we simply mounted scopes with a screwdriver.
And the gun user would simply shoulder the gun to see how i looked to him.
It might require a bit of tweeking one way or the other to make the reticle look correct as for plumb, at least for him, or maybe even her.
And it might also have required the scope being moved forward or back a bit to correct any (eye relief) issues before final tightening with the (screwdriver). Torque drivers became necessary only because they started cheating on the scope tubes.
So the term eyebox just sorta snuck in there somehow and left some of us a bit confused as to what it actually was.
It probably happened as a way to get our minds away from the cheaper scope tubes.
Hey, it does have a really great eyebox, and it tracks really well also.
Perfect for my new 6.5 Crymore when/if i decide to really stretch its legs way out there.
And of coarse some of the old loopys still in use by the some of the old loonys have bad eyeboxes, and it isnt even being realized.
