[QUOTE="Mr. Magoo, post: 2665682, member: 124360"] I found that burris scopes from the late 90s were TERRIBLE at tracking but only when turning counter clockwise. Found that it got worse when it got cold, so that tells me the grease they used in the machanisms was just too stiff. I think this is why they came up with the the bandaid 'posilock' feature. I guess leupolds were the same. I went to go zero a 25 year old Leupold on my ar last week, when it was about 20°. When I turned it down I went too far by 2"; when I tried to bring it back up, poi wouldnt come back up. This tells me while the screw will force it down, the spring can't overcome the force necessary to get the tube to move with the old, stiffened grease in there. [/QUOTE]
