[QUOTE="Mr. Magoo, post: 2686011, member: 124360"] You are exactly right. I am almost certain that he problem with my old Burris and leupy scopes is they used a non-synthetic, stiff grease in the adjustment mechanisms, because they will move one way just fine but not move back the other way. This tells me they're moving under screw pressure since they are forced to but when asked to move back with the spring, the grease has become too old and stiff to let it move freely. As you put it- because of long range shooting, modern scopes have to track perfectly up and down and because warranty 'not tracking" problems have shown their head so prevalently now, quality scope manufactures had to find a lubricant that stays viscous at low temp and over long periods. That, and stronger springs. I figure burris went with the posilock thing way back in the day because of this very reason. [/QUOTE]
