I have my VX-II back from the Leupold repair shop. The scope was stringing horizontally. What was interesting to me is that they replaced the vertical and horizontal adjusters and the erector. They also "reworked" some other parts, whatever that means. I looked up the serial number and the scope was manufactured in 2005 so I have had it awhile. It has probably had under 300 rounds fired under it. This scope had very precise adjustments when it worked but my older Leupolds lasted longer.
