Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Scopes.............

I had a 6.5-20 Vari X 111 with tall target knobs I used in FTR. It was a great scope that I sold on this site. Since I don’t have any experience with the newer Leopolds getting discussed here, I won’t comment on those.

Regarding the comment that no one is posting pictures of animals from 600+ yards, this is last October. 660 yards with my 2-12 Athlon while hunting with my son.

Because I have a face only a mother can love.

So that's after it's been repaired?
It says
Repair tag # 719548.

Dam, nice deer.

Congrats.

No worries, Riar Rarry won't be sending it back for repair. They would do a simple test and tell him that either the rifle or ammo used was garbage.

Not bad for Remington Thunderbolts. HINT.

Gat damn, that buck! 😍

That's a great buck. No wonder you use it in different pictures and settings.

And the whole class can see the Gold Ring on that optic.

Here's one of the guide packing it out for you.



I think we are seeing a solid trend here in that those that can do don't spend much time bitching about what others use on their rifles.

It's obvious a few think it's their full time job to spread LDS. Almost like a paying job.

That’s how all work is logged into the shop.

The scope was not repaired, it underwent a precision scope mount and evaluation.

You’re looking at the results which indicate a perfect scope

Or the shooter’s error

Perhaps I'll get LUCKY on this Reupold Repair and they'll install a Tactical Erector Assembly,like they did in my freshly Puked(for the 3rd fhuqking time) MK4 FFP Mil Spotter. Hint.



Maiden Voyage of The Reupold Flagship. Nothing warm or fuzzy and pardon World Class Wares,using Live Ammo,at 50yds,in stellar conditions(that means good). Hint.









Reupold is always warm/fuzzy. Hint.




Give or fhuqking take. Hint.

Flipside. Hint.






Re-Flipside. Re-Hint.





To be continued. Hint...................

Leupold MK V Very Tall Anter Test was a success. Nice suppressor.

🤣🤣🤣

Next time in, I’m going to have to ask Charley his opinion of Leupold again.

Are you too drunk or stupid to realize you are the one that started b itching in this thread?

All because someone doesn't love the s hit product you get paid (or got paid) to shill....you are a sad fat b itch.

You, ummmmm.....you're the one that asked to see a pict with his face in it.

Reupold can almost tell one of their Rifle Scopes,from one of their Spotting Scopes. ALMOST. Hint.



To be continued. Hint................

No I didn't ask to see his face.

I commented on his fear of showing pictures with faces unless it was a kid.

I also commented he used another picture of that same buck in a different setting and implied a 16 yr old girl killed it.

So truthfully I did not see that picture coming for a few reasons but I did see the Leupold Gold Rings in the pictures he posted.

In addition, I find the over use of Gifs on the site to be getting out of hand and will be talking to Rick Bin about such wastes of bandwidth.


Yeah.

I called it pretty early. It's what WIZARDs do but really Sammie Davis saw this faked picture shit show coming.

Elevation and windage adjusters from the same scope as the previously pictured reticle cell. It tracked erratically, especially the windage. It would seemingly move, then stop, then back up or jump forward. It gave it's owner quite a bit of grief on paper and the same traits were seen on my scope checker when I was later asked to check it.

These are the adjusters. If you look closely, you can see there's a little stem of brass inside the middle of the brass insert. This stem is adjusted to be in contact with the erector and move it with adjustment changes. Look even closer...you can see that one stem protrudes from the insert while the other does not:


This is the elevation adjuster. You can faintly see a light mark on the erector where the stem has made contact. So far, so good. The stem could be a a bit further out but not too bad, all in all.


And here is the windage adjuster. Since the stem wasn't adjusted from the factory to be further out than the lower edge of the insert, the entire periphery of the insert bears against the erector tube when adjustments are made. It's already begun to dig into the erector tube as the marks clearly show. Bingo...there's the problem.


Both stems have been readjusted, sealed to prevent movement and a couple other rubs done to the pivot joint. The wear marks on the erector from the windage adjuster aren't a problem since the stem is in the middle of them all around the travel cycle. The majority of the time, this is the cause of tracking problems.....assuming a decent mounting system that's relatively stress free.

Again, this is essentially a new scope with less than 100 rounds on it. Had this scope been checked on a quality scope checker before going on the rifle, this problem would have stuck out like a sore thumb and it could have been returned. He may have gotten a better one as a replacement or they might have tried to fix this one. Not exactly confidence inspiring either way. This is simply poor quality control at the manufacturer's assembly line and a complete disregard of the customer. He didn't want to mess with them as he'd lost confidence. He ordered another brand.

For those interested in this stuff, feel free to copy these images and save them for reference.

Plus, you'll be ahead of the curve when an M.C.P'er (Master Copy Paster) posts these down the road to show people his tooling and jigs.

Good shootin' -Al
