Most of my experience with Leupold has been with military issue gear. I've only owned 3 leupolds personnally. The M3A is a 30mm tube 1 MOA elevation 1/2 MOA windage fixed 10X that was built like a tank.
You have Rick Boucher to thank for that scope's rugged, reliable, tracking, as the AMU contingent was dead set on having 1/4moa adjustments. He had to document that they couldn't be made to track accurately, and because of "screw lag", wouldn't always take the DOPE.
What Boucher and Lambert came up with, an elevation turret with an etched knob calibrated for the load, was what a few euro snipers were doing, and pretty much what John Burns at Greybull advocated. This is why I have to laugh when someone posts here that that system doesn't work. Boucher stacked up bodies like cordwood in SE Asia, sort of like Burns does elk.
