I always thought they were kind of innovative. However, I've just been frustrated that with every Leupold I've owned, I always have adjusted .5 MOA over and ended up changing POI 1 MOA or some such. Frankly, I haven't had any problem with cheek weld or parallax with either of my conventionally-shaped objectives. One (with only a 32mm objective) has a scope height that is 2" above the bore and the other (which has a 50mm objective) is only 1.6" (on a 20MOA base). So I don't see the need to carve a divot out of the lens. I'd rather that they put some attention into the scope internals. That might make me a Leupold buyer again someday.

Even if the Leupy "L"-models were the only scopes on earth, I wouldn't mount one of those crappy looking caricatures of a riflescope on my rifles. Not even on my crummy old Mosin-Nagant!

I've yet to see a critter fall over dead due to a rifle/scope being pretty.

I do not like there looks and probably would not buy one...I do think the concept is a good one, it does make sense to me anyway...Im not even sure why we are still discussing this really....Boredom I guess |

If Rick James and Andy Warhol got together to make a scope, it would look like that.
Seriously, I shot under a few VXL's and came away thinking they were VERY nice. The glass on the 2 models I fooled were both terrific.
One had the B&C reticle.
I don't think they look that bad when mounted up, but I'm freaky.

They do look better when they are mounted up properly, no doubt.
Funny-I see a lot of hostility against them here from guys who would have no problem with an ACOG, mounted on a stainless-steel Marlin lever gun with a nylon sling, appearance-wise. (Incidently, I wouldn't either, really.)
We shooters sure get some screwy ideas in our heads, don't we?

I'm waiting for Leupold to develop square tubed scopes and sent everything else into obsolesce. You know, with a catchy name to go along with it.........Quadromatic, Self-Leveling Reticle Technology.

You maybe ought to get down to the Patent Office first thing in the morning with that one, Roy!
Wouldn't that look great on one of those new Remington rifles with the Triangular barrels?
Wow!

It will not surprise me to see something akin to that in the future from some manu.

For some reason, the Remington rep didn't think it was funny when I asked where to find triangle-shaped bullets. |
