My peeve really has nothing to do with the company, it's employee's or the scopes themselves. It has to do with (some) the owners often looking down on others as if you are anti-American or unpatriotic if you don't own a Leupold. Some, also believe that these are far superior to anything past, present or unlikely future. I have even seen non-Leupold owners being cast as fool hardy, non-serious flat landers. That is what turns me off.

The Zeiss Conquest (assembled in the US) is just as much "American made" as Leupold. Leupold buys its lenses from Asia, by the way.
Leupold does indeed have an excellent warranty and customer service, and they are the reason their competitors have improved their warranties to in some cases match Leupold's warranty. They also do offer more options than anyone else, if you need a niche scope or want some custom finish, reticle, etc.
I have a few Leupold scopes, and I like them. However, in comparison to their mid-priced competitors, they often don't represent the best cost vs. performance value. I think in several respects they've become complacent, relying on their name and reputation for so long that their competition has caught up and in many cases, gained a technological edge on them, while still offering their products at the same or lower prices in the process.

Not a hater of Leupold at all. I have had a couple would still have if not for thieves, I still do own one. I can tell you that for the cost of that 3-9X 50 VXIII a Bushnell, or Nikon Monarch will rub its nose in the perverbial wet spot. We call it like it is around here, nothing more, nothing less. Those that are always accusing us of HATE SPEACH directed at Leupold, generally are the ones that just don't want the truth, or can't handle the truth.
If and when Leupold starts to price competitively with the scopes that are as good and cost less then there can be an argument if the HATE SPEACH continues.

all you gotta do is copy and paste squeeze. Its not like you have to type the whole thing. Highlight it all, then hit control c to copy and then come back to this forum and hit control v and it will paste it for you.

Leupold is the only affordable scope I would put on a dangerous game or heavy recoiling rifle, say anything above .338.

or not.
Before I bought the VX3 for my Alaskan, had Trijicon made a lower variable straight tuber with no objective bell, that Trijicon would instead be sitting on my 375.
