Just received from Leupold, a VX-3 1.5-5x20 that went bonkers. Leupold rebuilt it, replacing most of the erector parts, spring, etc..
A few weeks ago, I got a new VX-3i 1.5-5x20 because the VX-III 1.5-5x20 I sent them was past fixing.
Now, Leupold CS is great. But, when you're out in the hinterlands on an expensive hunt, sorta hard to box one up and send it back.
Don't think the SHV will need to go back. It's a matter of trust when the chips are down. And, I've been on some fancy hunts with Leupolds, did OK.
Now, given that info, you can guess what my rifle will be wearing on my next hunt, one that's a long way from the house.
