I got my new Leupold 4-12x40 AO back from their service dept that had tracking problems. Leupold said they noted a “side impact” and elected to replace the guts...
I didn’t take up the issue with the diagnosis of side impact even knowing the scope was NIB and never suffered any damage. Just seemed easier to say thanks.
I replaced 4-12 with a different scope. At this moment the Leupold sits in it’s return box without a home.
