He was going through some tough times, On a positive note back then he had good Leupold Scopes to get some game pictures.

Stick
They had to do the internal inspection 2x, LoL
How many times will it need to be repaired to maintain their Highest standards to last a lifetime? Performing like when it was purchased. Im not a Leupold hater just not trusting the scopes I have and there are a bunch in the safe. Mostly a mixture of Vari x and VX 1 & 2’s with some MX8’s and 3 Vx6’s (two I have bought for friends) most have went back and some are going back. Some for simply having the power rings become almost impossible to move and some will not track or hold zero. I need a
Scope for my 375 H&H No 1 and am considering a Leupold of vintage Vari x iii, mainly cause it should fit the tight ring spacing to stock length. I figure you might not like that rifle choice lol but I always wanted to play with one.
I guess profit over preformance is the way a lot of companies are competing for our $.
MerryChristmas what is it with the power ring? I have a Leupold 1-6 where it is almost impossible to move as well. Anyone ever have to return the Athlon to the factory for a warranty repair? That would be important to me as I hunt with my grandsons now who are less than careful with things. Not sure why the become so hard. Some have been in the safe and the range. No way cold hands could turn them. Fixed and then same a few years later. Q QThe best Leupold I had was a Vari x 111 matte Front lens craked. The fixed it and rebuilt the inside. That scope held up to a ton of 338 and 7mag rounds. It was repaired in about 96. I never had issues after. Sold it along with a 7mag earlier this year. I experienced the froze X ring on 2 2.5-8's. Not sure what iteration they were. Made the trip back to Beaverton. Stayed fixed after they returned. Pretty sure I still have one of them. Had a pile of 2.5-8 at one point and didn't keep close track of what ended up where. Seemed a common enough problem back in the day. Knew 2 other guys who had the froze X ring. IIRC, they were also 2.5-8's. I’ve had several 3-9x same issue and one 2.5-8x All would have been Vari-XII or III Had to send one back for the same reason (D suffix = 1996). ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/An6rr0b.png)
