John, I do not have a case of LDS. As a matter of fact its the opposite. A Leup is usually the best choice for me. My only gripe is that I've broke a few and POI has moved around a lot. It has happened enough that my opinion is that the scopes can be improved upon; made stronger. Until there is demand, there is little incentive for improvement. My trust is waning, though I am still pretty much married to it. After all, most re-marriages end in divorce, so I'm trying to hang in there. I do not believe other brands are immune to this, some probably a lot worse. I recon I have one more gripe; the lack of a Zero Stop. The CDS addresses this issue but limits to one revolution.
Since the change, do you have a link to the specs on your scope? Seems like I remember it has a zero stop. In the past I have written it off from the start only because of personal prejudice against 50mm objectives on a dedicated hunting rig. Maybe I need to get over it and give it a go.
