I've had two Leupolds bad from the factory, one replaced, the other fixed.
No problems after that.
Had about 20 of em, new and used over the years.
Once zeroed they stayed.
Yeah, tappit tap at the bench. PITA.
But I expect it running varmint cartridges. Just not enough jolt to make things move like they're supposed to.
I need a gloss 3-9X or something for a Ruger #1.
Looking at used prices, for 40 yr old scopes w friction adjust..............no thanks.
I'll slap a new one on and call it good.
Hell, maybe even a POS Redfield Revolution.
Had over a half doz of those, they worked fine. Adjusted in without tappity tap......but the 1/4 inch clicks were a little more in one direction on a couple.
Older rifles IMHO don't look right with the large eyebell stuff.
And yeah, looks are important to some degree.
If I had to run a target rig, twist dials..........I'd proly look at a diff brand.
For poking holes in deer or chucks, Leupolds work OK for me.
But, my shooting is 400 yds or less.
If I was playing the long D game I might need something else.
