Over the years, I've spoken with Matt and Dave of Hill Country Rifles several times regarding Leupolds QC. The boys at HCR see their share (and then some) of Leupolds, and have noted that over the past several years, the QC has indeed taken a hit.
And the deterioration has nothing to do with the number of popped primers, nor fiddling with turrets. New scopes straight out of the box having issues. Canted reticles, parallax issues, erectors not tracking, not holding zero, etc.
