What scope do you trust? Most rugged, dependable rifle scope?

I’m a Leupold fanboy so I’d always say Leupold

I was in the Navy, my brother recently retired from the 82nd, one nephew just retired Army SF, another is in the 101st, and yet another is in the 4ID…
We all use Leupold so I guess I’m a little plugged in lol
It’s OK, no worries! Some guys like blondes, some brunettes

I’ve been out for a few years but it was Mark 4’s, as well as some Schmidt’s

Thank you and thank your family for your service.

Forgive me I'm not certain of the groups you named. Are any of you snipers, DM, AD, SDM, or USMT? I cannot recall one person say 15 years ago that looked through a Leupold and then a S&B then say I chose Leupold.

Again, I'm not saying they fall apart like Legos. I'm saying I have seen to many go down with my own eyes. For that reason I personally don't trust them.

I have looked through the new MK5HD, the glass has improved. I did not like the way the mirage looked through the glass. I'm being picky, I see no reason for them choosing 35mm main tube, .25 mil marks on their reticles. If I did not have the knowledge of them from 20+ years ago. With what I mentioned above would keep me from purchasing them. This is all my personal experience and thoughts, they are worth what you paid for them.
