Seeking recommendations on a new scope
Sakko300wsm:
I wouldn’t waste money on anything vortex - they will all fail sooner or later!
Deal with a bit more weight and go with good glass
I definitely vote for NF NX8
All my NF’s have been 100% flawless
Crunchy:
I have a safe full of different leupold scopes and have never had a problem with any of them. I recently picked up a Nightforce NX8 4-32. Also a nice scope. You need to figure out the specs you want and then do a little shopping.

My dad had a Leupold loose it's nitrogen purge after 30+ years. They gave him a new VX3 (this was 1990's).
Skillet:
I have a huge complaint about Leupold's warranty. My grandfather bought a brand-new M8 (4x fixed, 32mm objective) in 1957 to hang on his Featherweight. In the 80's he took a good tumble, and lost the nitrogen fill seal. Completely his fault, after almost 30 years of use. He sent it in expecting to be sent back a bill with a rebuilt scope - but they sent him a brand new scope and a "No Charge" invoice. The nerve of that company. :chuckle: Still works as new to this day.
I've got several Leupolds now. Although I don't like that they don't offer a gloss version, or fixed scope, any more, they are still my go-to for new optics. I've had Swarovski, Zeiss, Vortex, Bushnell (the 4200 was an amazing scope for its price point), and Nikon optics - but Leupold still gets first nod.
