I have a little story from the range yesterday.
Went out with a few rifles. Rifle #1 was a Ruger .243 that usually shoots 3/4" 3-shot groups. I put a new VX-2 3-9X40 CDS on it. Couldn't get the darn thing zeroed. It was shooting 3" groups strung horizontally. Hmmm. I'll clean the rifle, check the screws, and try on another day. But.....
Rifle #2 was a Savage .270 with a Leupold 6X36. I don't remember the last time I touched the adjustments on that scope. Maybe in the spring of 2011??? I fired one shot and put it back in the case. My black bear rifle was ready to go for the spring.
Stuff like that makes me thing BobinNH and Mule Deer may be on to something when they keep harping about the reliability of fixed power scopes.
Also, I'm starting to think the statements I read on here about Leupold QC may be more than just internet blabbering...
