[QUOTE="Vern Harrison, post: 17013, member: 1608"] Hi Guys, 12 years ago, I traded a bunch of gun parts and ended up with two brand new Leupold 24x's. At the time I had two 6mm Rem. VS for short range varmint shooting. I decided to put one of the 24x's on my 6mm. I took it out side my house and sighted it in a 100 yds. Long about the 9th shot, it started shooting all over the place. Knowing it wasn't the rifle, I took the scope off and replaced it with the other Leupold 24x. After about a dozen shots it did the same thing, started shifting impact. I boxed them up and sent them to Leupold, three weeks later I got them both back. With the scopes they sent a computer print out of what was wrong with them, listing between 7 to 11 things they found wrong. I got on the phone and called them asking how that many things could be wrong with a new scope? After a 15 minute conversation it got ugly and the guy told me "Leupold didn't care if I was upset, they sold thousands of scopes and if I didn't like them not to buy them". Well until this year I didn't. I really liked the looks of their 8 1/2x 25 LR M1 with mil-dot system. So I got one! Dang thing after ahalf dozen shots started shifting impact. I boxed it up and sent it back, with a note I needed it back for the Nationals here in Va. Well they sent it back and it worked fine, but again had a list of things wrong. I know that any scope maker is going to have a problem from time to time. It's just now I have no confidence in this scope and I'm scared it will let go again but this time in a match. When I can save some money I will go back to NF. They seem to be the only company out there that year to year get better. Thanks, Vern PS. I payed $960 for this scope, I would take $850 for this tomato stake if anyone interested. [/QUOTE]
