Did use that rifle a LOT back then as a "test platform" for new scopes, as I was writing the "Hunting Optics" column for PETERSEN'S HUNTING. Won't list the scopes that rifle broke, but it was a pretty long list, and included some pretty pricey scopes. None were Leupolds.

Am assuming your were responding to me, rather than Partsman--which is shat your response indicated.

Have posted many times here that my experience until around 2010 is Leupolds very rarely failed.

But about then they started failing more often. Not long afterward, maybe around 2015, I noticed that I was printing out several copies of the forms for sending scopes to their repair-department at a time. After that I quit buying new Leupolds--instead purchasing used models made before around 2010.
