I bought the Leupold first, had it for a few months, and then got the Clearidge for another gun.
side by side the Leupold offers a slight better image quality/color/light, but definitely not enough to justify paying $350-$400 (Leupold) vs $200 (Clearidge) for me in the future. the Clearridge also has resettable knobs.
the only other downside to the clearidge for me is the glossy finish, which could be covered up by tape. all the matte finish ones are sold out
i see the two mentioned together often enough that i thought a quick comparison might be useful. the only reason i'm holding onto the Leupold is because i got it on sale for pretty cheap, but have not found it at that price range since.
