My most recent experience with a Leupold as a VXIII I bought some years ago. I mounted it in Talley QD rings and bases on my M70 416 Remington gearing up for a buffalo hunt in Zimbabwe. I mounted the unused scope about a year ago and commenced to shoot ~600 rounds sighting the rifle in and shooting off sticks and offhand. The sight in was me looking down the bore and scope until things looked right at 50 yards. Dialed in I moved to 100 yards and shot a 3 shot group. I tweaked the scope and landed dead on, as dialed, at 100 yards. I then shot the hell out of the rifle with nary an issue. During my hunt the rifle road in a rack outside behind the cab. Never an issue. Lucky me.
