Subject: What general-purpose scopes are 'tough?'
Posted: May/07/2013 at 10:40
I was only comparing the 2 specific 4.5-14x40 scopes I mentioned (both 30mm). I was just curious as to whether you thought there were differences beyond the 3 I listed. I feel confident that those are the differences of consequence, but again I invite you to share any certain knowledge/information you have to the contrary.

One of the things I appreciate about Leupold is that they'll actually talk to me. Too often I encounter companies that refuse to do anything but hint, allude, or try to help me jump to conclusions without giving me any actual information. That nearly always comes across as them trying to up-sell me on things that either don't exist, I don't want or need, or that they won't tell me about in a meaningful way. Leupold never does that to me.
It is interesting that, _possibly_ excepting the Nikon, the scope brands/lines you just listed are ones that I have found to be 'tough' or durable over time, too. It seems that this is also the experience of those who may have used other scopes which I've not had much experience with (Burris, Bushy, and others), so I think I got the kind of input from this thread that I sought.
