Got to thinking about the reliability of todays Variable Scopes to hold Zero. I have never had an issue when Using A Leupold variable shifting Zero .
I realize that the Leupold Variable scopes have more moving parts than the Leupold fixed Powers but how important is that ?
Do Leupold Variable scopes often lose Zero ?
I would like to hear from those who use them about their experiences of lost zero or other failures and asking from the other side of the coin have you ever had a Leupold fixed power scope lose zero or malfunction?
I have used the Fixed powers before and like them,4x,6x (currently have a M8 4x Long tube on an 8mm Mauser sporter.
But I like the upper end of the 3-9x40 for use in the field where I hunt most of the time.
And on those rare occasions when I slip off in the thick woods I like the 3x.
But could make do with the 6x36 for both uses.
I put a VX1 3-9x40 on a Tikka Superlight 270 Win I recently bought BUT Now wondering if I should have just stuck a 6x36 on it. I like the 9x better in the fields but I dont want to be using a scope(Variable)if it is prone to lose zero !
So lets hear the Good the Bad and the Ugly about the Leupold Variables.
Dont really care about preferences as we all have our preferences but just about Mechanical failures or success as it were.
