Hell I must admit I thought all this Leupold bashing was just that, people over reacting to problems that happen to some degree with any manufactured system. But earlier this year I ordered a FX II 3x from the Leupold Custom Shop with the #4 reticule and when I received it,it was unfocusable. No amount of ocular twisting could make anything visible through the scope let alone get the reticle in focus. I still build up a little steam when I think about it. I can't imagine how effed up ones processes would have to be, to be in the business of making optical instruments and not even visually inspect one coming from your "Custom Shop." It has ruined Leupold for me, though I hate to say it.
