Long Story
I have been on a quest to find the panacea for the optimum BR scope.
I have owned B&L's, Weavers, Leupold's, March, Night Force BR & NSX and all have fallen short in one way or another. B&L & Weavers great bang for the buck. Very clear but limited reticle selection and power.
Had 5 different Marches. Great reticle selection but ....dim...dim...dim and there wasn't one of the 5 that I could focus crisply & parallax simultaneously.
The NF BR's were very good with the exception of the weight and reticle selection.
Presently have 5 Leupold Comp scopes and in MHO they are the most clear/bright scopes I have tried, bar none.
Reticle selection is weak and I have found I can't trust them. There isn't one of the five that hasn't been back to Leupold for repair, at least once a year. The maddening thing is that BLUE repair sheet that is returned with the scopes NEVER indicates what they found to be the problem, just what they did.
(Unfortunately, by knowing what they did, I do not have enough knowledge of a scopes anatomy to know what may have been wrong) Last time I sent scopes in for repair I went as far as phoning ahead and spoken with the tech who would personally take care of this scope. I did not explain to him what the scope was doing, rather asked him to assess it. I asked if there was a problem, that he verify what it was and include his findings on the repair invoice. I also enclosed a detailed letter reiterating our conversation so as to refresh his memory. Guess what.....I received the scope back and NO explanation of what was found, only the repairs that were done....
....GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Mike...you know what I'm talking about. Next, as I did, very much like the initial Night Force BR offerings, except for the weight, decided to try the new Night Force Comp as it is a mere 28 oz. LOL. I abhor the 1/8 dot but do like the scope overall. I am hoping NF will come up with more acceptable reticles soon. I find it to be crystal clear until you get up over 45X, then it dims slightly
(acceptable). Clicks are crisp and so far it holds POI very well. I have only shot a few matches with it and I guess I will learn its little nuances as time goes by. In the meantime will hold on to my Leupold's. I did find a way to get some reticle flexibility without voiding the Warranty.
