It would be interesting for members here with broken leupold scopes to tear apart a couple of them and show some detailed photos of the erector systems parts. In my 50 years of hunting and shooting, I have had only 2 scopes go bad. Neither scope was a Leupold. I now live in Eastern Europe and It would be quite a hassle for me to send a broken scope back to the U.S. for warranty service. So I promise that if one of my 9 Leupold scopes crap out, I will disassemble the scope, take some good pictures and post them here. Ya'all shouldn't have to wait too long. I've been using Leupolds for 50 years now, so I am over due for a Leupold failure real soon. RJ
It would be interesting indeed. I wonder, for instance, if the internal erector guts and twin bias springs of a VX3 could be retrofited to a VXIII. Anyone know? If it could seems like that would be the best way to repair a VXIII for failure and more cost effective in the long run if it reduced the frequency of returns.
