Re: Nikon to Leupold switch
I hear Ya Tom! There have been many things, especially clothing that I grow to like and when I want another, only come to find it is no longer stocked, or dis-continued.Rifletom wrote: ↑Fri Nov 29, 2019 12:24 pmI always liked the Weavers also.

If I were in tie-break decision between a Nikon and something else, I'd go something else. Conversely if the Nikon was a clear choice over something else, I wouldn't hesitate buying a Nikon.

Re: Nikon to Leupold switch
To add another scope into the mix. I just ordered (on a "Black Friday" deal) a Sightron S 1 Hunter 3-9X x 32 Rimfire scope, with a crosshair (kinda old school). Midway has them for $109.00. While I have only one Sightron scope, a low power shotgun/muzzle loader type, I've heard good things about them. This one is fairly compact, at about 11", fairly light, and is parallax set for 50 yards. Worth a shot, right?

Be interested in your thoughts once you try it out.

Re: Nikon to Leupold switch
That actually seems to be a pretty nice scope. I like the specs on it. Can't wait to see what you think of it at the range.Yornoc3 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 30, 2019 11:06 amTo add another scope into the mix.

What are you going to put it on?

Re: Nikon to Leupold switch
I think I'll put it on a Ruger American .22LR, that currently is wearing an old Weaver 2-7 x 32 steel scope (first one I bought for myself, in 1970), which has been "upgraded" from a centerfire rifle quite awhile ago. It has a lot of nostalgia going for it, but that's about all . If I put it on my CZ 452 .17HMR, I could free up a Burris Compact 3-9 x 32 for something else, though. Decisions, decisions... . I will report on it when I get a look at it late this week.

Re: Nikon to Leupold switch
I suspect that good companies like Leupold will be experiencing an uptick in sales
