I had a new, custom barreled, Model 70 that just wouldn't shoot, tried all sorts of ammo varieties. Went to replace the stock, front action screw was loose, should have checked it first.
Re Leupolds, I currently have five 5HDs and dozens over the years, never had any problems but I've always been a "set it and forget it" shooter so maybe that's why I've been so lucky. Watched a video the other day, guy built a custom rifle and said that the scope should be about equal in price to the rifle, I've never had that opinion, mines about 1/3. The Leupold 5HD is my intersection of quality/value/price.
