[QUOTE="gunaddict, post: 559643, member: 24628"] I have 30 VariX3's andVarixIII's. I have had many problems with their scopes. Scopes I have had problems with are 3.5x10x40, 4.5x14x40AO, 4.5x40x40LR, 6.5x20x40AO. 8.5x25x40AO, and 6.5x20x50LR. I am on a first name basis with the head of Leupold Technical Services, Alan Ransom. I have even met him in person at Leupold headquarters, discussing the issues I have had with my scopes, this August. The issues: quality control on parts inside the scopes, not holding zero, tracking issues, erector systems, etc. I also have talked to him about MOA reticle. Leupold has fixed or replaced 9 or 10 of my scopes. For the last 2 years I have keep track of all emails and the blue sheets that they send back with the fixed scopes. They now put my scopes on their 40X 300 Win Mag to check it at their range. And they send back the target with the scope or send it in a email. I also do box drills to check scopes if I think they have a problem. I do not have enough time to explain the problems i have had with each scope. And I have had problems with my friends and faimlies Leupold scopes. I am not bashing Leupold, but I don't understand why I have so many problems. And yes I do know how to mount a scope. I shoot alot, not as much as some but alot more than others. I sent 1 scope in 3 times before they got it right. At the same time I sent in another scope and they replaced it because it would not hold zero. These scopes are on guns from 223 to 375 ultramag. Only 2 have muzzle brakes, which are 338 &375 ultramags. Don't ask me why I keep buying them. My loyalty has not gotton me anything. Try replacing 30 scopes with another brand I could afford. My friend has as many guns as I do and he has switched to Weaver Grand Slams and Super Slams. I have thought about this very much before I posted this, because of I did not want to offend anyone that has not had any trouble with their Leupolds. I will continue to buy Leupolds even with the trouble I have had. Todd [/QUOTE]
