just my  but about 9 years ago finally saved up enough $ to buy a decent 22-250.  I bought a winchester "coyote" model with a laminated stock and a bull bbl.  Wanted to get a leupie on it as that was what i bought for my 7mm mag and loved the combo.  side by side comparisons and the nikon 6.5X20 was so much clearer and light gathering capable that i had to buy it.  almost broke my heart as i considered myself a leupie man but it didn't compare to the nikon.  I almost feel guilty every time i shoot it as i would love to have a leupie on it but there was no comparison when i bought it.  at that time i spent more $ on the scope than i did the rifle and performance wise have not been dissapointed.  have not compared the two since but when i do buy another rifle will definately look at all options again.....would rather buy on performance than a brand name

Leupold's product service support has been second to none.  I have sent in scopes and rangefinders and have been nothing but impressed with the service and support.  And free with the right product such as gold ring.

if i had to choose one of the two, it would be the family's 4th nikon with zero problems and multiple dead animals.

there are other brands in that price range though......brands that i would probaby choose over nikon or leupy.

Leupold cause if you have a problem they take care of it immediately.  I understand Nikon takes alot of phone calls and over a year to get results on the guarantee.  That was from Dave's Sportshop who will not carry Nikon because of that reason even though the product itself is good.  We got a replacement on a Leupold Binos quickly and I need my Nikons fixed and now I'm nervous about it.  Need every pair for hunting season this year cause we have up to 6 going.

I've never had Nikon take that long??? Typically it takes 3 weeks if not shorter.  I've never had a Nikon repair take longer than a month.  That include sport optics and my photo equiptment.

For some reason, I have a problem with eye relief with Nikon. I happen to think that Leupold makes a better product, except the spotters, so all my rifles have Leupold scopes.

its kinda funny. you guys are arguing about which company can fix a broken pruduct faster when over here.....products just dont break. lol.

ofcourse there is the once in a blue moon 35 year old zeiss that gets adjusted past its limits or a loose eyecup on a pair of binos but in general, really amazing product.

[zackmioli]

ive always had leupold so its all i know, but i have no complaints what so ever.

 :)Rasbo has it right.
My experience is when out hunting, EVERYTIME a guy says "this scope is just as good as a leupold" we look thru each others scopes and EVERYTIME the Leupold is superior.
Bottom line is: Nikon does not support our hobby 100% like Leupold does!!!
thanks Rasbo

Leupold for rifle scopes and binocs. Nikon for spotting scopes.

Well looks like Leupold took the majority by a landslide with Nikon coming in at a distant second.  Somewhat surprised that Burris actually received 4% of the votes ?  Never been a HUGH fan of there optics .  Thanks everyone for voting, It was fun to see what everyone preferred. 

Who voted for Others??  What scopes did you guys have in mind?
