Will you get a break before huntin season?
I'm sure they'll get it fixed and quick but if not I've got a spare 6x42 with a turret I can let you use if need be.

Yeah, I should at least get a chance to put it back on and zero it. I'll let you know if I need to borrow one, but I've got an extra Burris with a turret too. Thanks man!

Tanner I bet within 10 days that you will have that scope back in your hands. Leupold is great and will take care of you bud!

My parents will have it back I'm sure...  I won't see it for a while, but I think you're right, they'll get it sorted out! Might have to go make sure the 280 is zeroed, just in case...

Leupold will sort it out, just hope your not hunting the next time it craps out.

Tanner,
I've had trouble with very few Leupolds, but after those came back from Leupold I never had any more trouble with them.

JB, I'm hoping that'll be my luck! I'm a Loopy lover and that scope is bad to the bone, so I've got high hopes.

Good choice, bud. I was thinking that a SS on that Montana would be akin to a sheep hunter strapping a 5gal jug of water on the top of his pack

And carrying a optical coincidental range finder (or whatever they're called :D)
You're right though! Looking at the 10x sitting on my bench compared to my Montana, it's about half the weight and half the length.. grin. Though the 6x was smaller but then I looked at their website.

You don't find yourself wanting a bit more precision in the adjustment department with the 1/2" clicks? Nope.... not at all. In fact I don't notice any difference in the field. If I miss by 1/4 moa high or low, nothing I shoot at will know the difference. Furthermore, 1/10 mil clicks are all the rage with the tac guys and they're 1/3". I also think the Mark II/ Mark AR erector assemblies and turrets seem more solid than the factory 'target' turret assembly.... but that's just me. The best way to think of it is not 1/3" for a .1 mRad, rather 1/1000th of whatever distance you're shooting. If shooting 1000 yards, each click is .1 yard or 3.6". That's the beauty of mil-rads. No conversions. You're right about one thing, the average person can't shoot .25 MOA in the field, so the difference between .5 MOA and .25 MOA knobs is not important. To the OP: Glad you're getting it taken care of. That scope should do you well for years to come!

What was the particular problem? You could click the scope 3, sometimes 4 clicks, before it would move. Then it would finally move a click, or may move the whole 3 or 4. When I got it back the second time, it would still not move reliably, so down the road it went. Makes little difference as to the model, but it was a Vari-X III 6.5-20x40 AO target duplex mounted on a very accurate 700 varmint gun.

I've never had one do it until now... I was out shooting at the 5, and suddenly my schit just started walking all over the place. Left, right, left, low. The first 3 went about 3.5", and it went downhill from there.
what do I do?! I leave tomorrow for college, and I need to either get this thing fixed or get another scope. ... this sucks! Im not even going to say anything..... dave

Thanks Dave. As soon as I have an extra $2500, I'll probably spend it on a trip to AK, and not a S&B.

I've never had one do it until now...... this sucks! Tanner: Count your lucky stars it happened at the range,likely because you actually shoot rifles and that's how it's supposed to work....So, it doesn't suck that bad.When it happens on a hunt,then it really "sucks". Variable? What a surprise! Repeat after me......"fixed power,fixed power".Break a few more,this will sink in.
