I know a pretty reputable guy who's had a Leupold go tits-up this week..... we'll see how that pans out. I know another far less reputable guy who thinks his Leupold is tracking schitty..... we'll see on that one too. I've never had a bad one, unless I dropped it/fell on it.....
I cannot tell a lie. Had 2 (yep, two) Leupolds take schits this week that were on hunting rifles....
First was a VX3 4.5-14 LR 40mm CDS with a custom TMR. First shot at 100 after dialing down from 600 (returning to zero) was the upper right impact, then the next four "grouped"....
Checked zero on my .264 WM with a 6.5-20 Mark 4 LR ERT M5 TMR. It was all over the place. Figured either the scope took a schit or the barrel was toast....
100 yard group...
Threw on a proven 8.5-25 Mark 4 and shot it. Same ammo and rifle...
Customer service will get a workout this next week.
