For many years I relied upon Leupold scopes; used them I guess starting in the mid '50's or so and always had good luck with them. I've used two 5.5x22x56MM NF scopes the past couple of years with extremely great results! I put the zeros on for whatever distance I'm shooting for the prevailing conditions and the bullets go where intended. I've got an older Leupold 4.5x14x50MM Long Range scope I've had for a while now and recently I discovered that when I rotated the parallax knob with the rifle in a steady rest that the reticule would move downward a full 14" or so from 600 yards distance. I sent this scope back to Leupold for repairs about two months or so back and received it back about a week ago. I got a chance to check it out last date and Lo and Behold.....now I only have 10 clicks or 2.5 MOA right movement!! It's mounted on a 30/06 target rifle that I've had a NF on and I know that this rifle was fitted up correctly barrel-wise to action so there was no excessive amount of movement to get this rifle to zero however....when I rotate the windage knob for right POI movement.....the knob will turn BUT....the reticule DOES NOT MOVE!! On the work sheet sent back with the scope it advises that the erector lens was replaced and the scope checked for proper movement! Things must have changed drastically at Leupold these past few years because obtaining proper service, RELIABLE SERVICE was not an issue in the past!!
DO YOU THINK I'M PIZZED??
