I've never had one do it until now... I was out shooting at the 5, and suddenly my schit just started walking all over the place. Left, right, left, low. The first 3 went about 3.5", and it went downhill from there.
what do I do?! I leave tomorrow for college, and I need to either get this thing fixed or get another scope. Help me out with the Leupold Address so I can send it off maybe?
I'd sell it to one of you fellers if you want it, just send it in for repair and I'll put the $ towards something else... this sucks!

If I were smart enough, which apparently I'm not

Just kinda' sucks, I'm always saying how it hadn't happened to me yet! The real bummer is that I don't have time to mess with it.

I'd trip it and buy a Mark AR 3-9x40..... I've had a few of the Vari-X Tacs.... both 3.5-10 and 4.5-14.... I think the Mark AR is a better scope and the 1/2" clicks are the schitt. There's a couple in the classifieds now.... I paid less than $250 for the last three of them I bought.
You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......

In regards to the SS scopes: I personally wouldn't want a 20-21 ounce boat anchor hanging off the top of a Kimber, but as always, YMMV.

The SWFAs are good solid scopes.... but they weigh a ton.... and it would be a serious muffin top on that sexy little Kimber....

You don't find yourself wanting a bit more precision in the adjustment department with the 1/2" clicks?

Leupold will fix it and they will fix it quickly. You have a good scope with a lifetime warranty. Let them make it right.

You don't find yourself wanting a bit more precision in the adjustment department with the 1/2" clicks? Nope.... not at all. In fact I don't notice any difference in the field. If I miss by 1/4 moa high or low, nothing I shoot at will know the difference. Furthermore, 1/10 mil clicks are all the rage with the tac guys and they're 1/3". I also think the Mark II/ Mark AR erector assemblies and turrets seem more solid than the factory 'target' turret assembly.... but that's just me.
