I've always loved Leupold scopes, and have several on several rifles.
Recently, my son (A Gen Z'er) has started giving me a hard time about my love for Leupolds and European scopes, because a guy on another site does serious scope testing and has found that almost nothing except Nightforce, Trijicon, and SWFA scopes will hold zero after being subject to rough (well, abusive) field testing.
If they held zero, Leupold would be the tester's favorite, because of the reticles and ergonomics, but he has found that the old fixed-power 10X scope (now discountinued) is the only one he has ever tested that would hold zero when dropped, bounced around, etc.
I have had to re-zero my best scopes (Leupold and Zeiss) after long, rough travel.
What are your experiences?
