if Leupold is having issues with tracking and holding zero I would think the springs would be one of the concerns..
Are they having wide ranging issues? I have had 2, maybe 3 out of literally hundreds of cheap Leupolds that failed to track or hold zero. Yes, a tap on the turret was often required unless you ran the turrets thru their range a few times to avoid wasting ammo. But once set, they stayed in place. I have returned more for damage to be repaired or replaced than for mechanical issues.
At some point, we have to heed Sticks advice, shoot more, post less.
I am going to order me a 5 or 6 once I commit to a reticle and magnification. I damn sure won't be posting about it either way, there's enough nonsense here now.
Ironically, shooting more is what reveals the mechanical problems that people run into. No scope has mechanical issues while sitting in the safe, and I'm guessing that it's difficult to keep enough ammo in stock to shoot hundreds of scopes enough to reveal mechanical problems. Either way, we should all use what works for our needs.
I hate Microsoft and globalist vaccine pusher Bill Gates! I don't use Microsoft Edge as my browser because it's just Democrat propaganda. Google Chrome is much more user friendly and easier to use. In the last week Bill Gates has turned off my ad blocker several times, locked up my computer several times while I looking at a conservative website and turned off my WIFI (it's a Microsoft setting). Just before I posted this Hunter's Campfire was locked up with several ads visible.
Rocky's right. LINUX is the way to go.
BTW: As an interim solution, try loading CHROMIUM. It's freeware Chrome without all the Google extensions.

Brakes, rotors, calipers for Church Lady’s car. Giving back to the community. 🤙
Cool I see it took several wrenches to figure out which one fit the nipple on the brake caliper, that you use the jar and hose method to bleed the brakes and that you have plenty of big C Clamps around to push the cylinder back into the caliper so you can get the pads back over the rotor. Also a handy "Barely Legal" magazine for pondering while smoking a cigarette. Fully prepared.
OK. I lied, sorry, misleading post title. Just read an article in the Wash. Times, only 12% of govt agencies office building space in DC are being utilized. We are paying for heat, maintenance and security to maintain buildings that are ghost towns. Nobody reported back to the office after Covid according to the GSA, the govt's chief landlord. USDA is only occupying 6% of it's office space...GSA itself, 12%..Veterans 10%, hmm. Makes one wonder about phrases like 'non essential jobs', 'working from home is more productive' (when the private sector discovered the opposite was true). I can't imagine the cost of maintaining empty buildings in the most expensive real estate in the US. I probably dwell on these things too much on days like today when I mail in my check to IRS.
My companies gone 85% work from home. We've closed multiple campuses and sold the buildings.
"Narratives create false realities that incentivize humans to accept certain ideas or pursue certain actions that they would otherwise never accept or pursue if they were thinking clearly and confronting reality truthfully."
I think these narratives start with Fantastical Ideologies, then promoted by media, cajoling people into blind belief.
The first was probably feminism, paving the way for others such as Eco Ideology, Climate Ideology, Transgender Ideology, and on and on.
When I heard Haley make this statement, I immediately thought, "Really Nikki? Who designed, built and sourced the materials for your home? Who invented and designed the vehicle you used to drive to the airport, invented, designed and built the roads you drove to the airport, the plane you flew on, the event center you're standing in, the TV I'm watching you on...?"
Feminist Ideology allows these obviously false statements to be made with almost zero questioning. When these ideologies are challenged with factual information, the cognitive dissonance generally results in angry outbursts and ad Hominim attacks, but no rational arguments supporting them.
Ironically, Transgender Ideology now has men competing against women. I think they're actually just reaping what they've sown.
A little extreme maybe, but I think people's increasing willingness to believe in these Fantastical Ideologies, with the self-supporting media reinforcement, may ultimately collapse western civilization. A society that more and more lives in a fantasy world and recoils at rational argument, can't survive others that don't subscribe to the same levels of fantasy.
Javier Milei has cut 15,000 govt jobs in Argentina, turned Argentina off the path to bankruptcy, and promises to cut 70,000 before it's over. Unions and govt drones are going nuts. Hope he has good security.
If you read Genesis 4 it indicates that there were other people in the land of Nod. Cain took a wife there. God marked Cain so the other people wouldn't kill him. There were other people.
You are using the Bible. Go to Genesis 3 and you see Eve was the mother of ALL the living humans. Check out Acts 17 and you find all people came from one man.
This is just one of many contradictions demonstrating the unreliability of The Bible.
