[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 305509, member: 13285"] I had a similar problem with an older Vari XII 3-9 Leupold that I bought second hand. It would not hold zero so I sent it back to Leupold. I would have paid to have had it fixed but they were not interested.They returned it to me just like your scope and it was not fixed. They said it was a design feature of the scope for it to not hold zero if the rings were fitted onto the scope tube where a small dimple was located on the bottom of the scope. This is the pivot point of the reticle tube or sum such thing. Check your scope for this small dimple, if it has one then try to set your rings up so that they are away from this point and make sure that the rings are not putting any tension onto the main scope tube. I don't buy Leupold scopes any more due to the poor response I got over this issue. I hope you have better luck. [/QUOTE]
