As the OP on this thread I will provide an update as to my situation, the rest is a rabbit hole I won't go down.
To recap:
1. New VX-6 with a reticle canted relative to the elevation turret 2. Sent in to Leupold, 6 weeks gone and returned with no repair done 3. THIS is what set me off, not the scope problem but no communication or look at the very detailed description and photo of the problem
Here is the latest update:
The technical service person I have been communicating with has been excellent. He has called me pretty much daily with updates. He sent me a UPS label to overnight the scope back to him, and took it to the repair department personally. Apparently there is a +/- 1.5 degree acceptability and it was "off but within spec". It went back-and-forth internally twice but scope now has a new reticle installed and is dead-nutz on according to him, Given the approaching holidays I should expect to see it possibly late next week or week after. I do feel like my issue has been addressed about as well as it could have been (short of just sending me a new scope).
