JG, this is not directed at you. Me and you are on the same page.
My experience is that Leupold VXIII variables shift zero on a regular basis. This isn't speculation. I have a range at my back door and shoot often, I know they move. I will qualify this by saying that in nearly every case the scope has been subjected to redneck abuse; rough unprotected atv rides, bouncing around unprotected in a truck, etc. In previous threads the question has become should they be expected to handle such abuse, but my experience is what it is, with such abuse, they move.
Also, I see someone posted that most scopes returned to Leupold check out okay. Realize that a shift in zero is not considered a failure. The scope is in spec, and will do it again!
