From what I hear, the BR Leupold scopes are good for about one season and then it's off to the custom shop for repair. The 8.5x25x50 LRT's are holding up very good but 25x compared to 35x, 40x or 45x??. Nightforce = $$$$$$$$
Some are shooting the B&L Elite 4200 series or the Weaver T Series. I'll stick with the Leupold for now but your right, the scopes are certainly the weak link.
