Compare these complaints to the high cost of today's options and the way they look on a fine older rifle, I think they are still worth the gamble.
Water drops under the turret cap but not inside the scope? Probably from their testing for leaks. I like compact scopes on compact rifles. My favorite Leupold is the 1-4X variable. Actual magnification is 1.4-4.2 and is all you need for big game. Reportedly a favorite with Leupold employes. No end bell to bump and get out of alignment and is as reliable as their fixed scopes. A hunting rifle is carried a lot more than aimed and fired. The pre Freedom 1-4s are 8" and 8 ounces . Perfect.
