[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 67471, member: 412"] None of that means jack-shit to me without also knowing who's buying their own and who's on the dole. Simmons advertised their way to the "top" of popularity at least, in the late 80's through the early 90's. Nikon advertised and sponsored their way to popularity in the late 90's and through most of the 1st decade of 2000's. Like I said, when I'm buying boat anchor heavy scopes, I'll buy Nightforce. When I want a scope for a hunting weight rifle, I'll procure a pre-VX series Leupold. When someone shows me a scope of similar weight, durability, repeatability, with a similar forgiveness in eyebox/eye relief, with a custom shop that'll put nearly any reticle I want into nearly any of their scopes at a reasonable price and in a reasonable time-frame, then I'll have a WHOLE BUNCH of Leupolds for sale. This is but a sample of the last batch I sent in for turrets and/or reticle swaps: [IMG]http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o242/Horsaca/Hunting%2011/IMG_0190.jpg[/IMG] I find comfort in knowing VS. guessing or having to read about what someone else has done. I've "broken" 2 Leupolds. Dropped 1 hard enough to bend the M-1 elevation spindle. 2nd standard hunting turrets, I dropped it from the shooting bench down onto the concrete right onto the elevation adjustment.
