Skeeter: Please provide a link or source that says the Leupold lenses are plastic. As for my RX-1000 TBR I've accurately and repeatedly ranged out to 920 yards, and it's been bounced around quite a bit on winter hunts and works just fine. Sure it's made in China, but even at 1/3 the price of a Swarovski it's hardly junk as you seem to imply.
