I have a couple 2.5-8x36s, one an older Vari-X III and one a newer VX-3i. The older scope has been beat up quite a bit, never lost zero. I haven't had the newer one long enough to evaluate that way, but sighting in was easy, clicks were positive and did what they were supposed to do.
I also have some other Leupold scopes: a couple of 1.5-5x20s (one Vari-X III and one VX-3i), and one 2x LER pistol scope. The former both work fine, and the latter has also been beat up quite a lot, ditto never lost zero.
I don't dial when hunting; can't be bothered... so can't comment on that part of it...
