Out of numerous Leupolds, Zeiss, and a couple Pentax, the only scope I've ever had go back to the manufacturer due to mechanical malfunction was a VX-III 2.5-8X36. It was a broken erector spring that failed without much for round count. An example of one doesn't mean much, but I haven't bought a Leupold variable since. Slowly moving towards fixed 6X.

I'd suggest the same to the OP.
