[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 1832014, member: 101791"] I have never had that much trouble with Leupold Scopes. At the same time I've never gotten into scopes that can be adjusted to different elevation by turn of the nob on the fly, other than on a bench at the range. I had only one scope fail me on a hunting trip in Africa, but that was because it got nock over Rejusted the scope back on. Two trips to Africa and the scopes were right on at the start of the hunt. I have hunted for the years with Leupold scopes on my rifles. I would recheck them before hunting the next year. Generally found to be right on. No adjustment needed. The only setup was at the start. Having to adjust and shot a second round to moved to where I want it to go. It would make me think that I had adjusted the scope incorrectly. So after the adjustment and putting the second round down range. If something didn't change then there was a problem. I generally know the arc for the bullets for the loads I load. I use to set up at 3 1/2" high at 100 yards. Now only 1" high. I am good to 300 yards, and beyond that I adjust my hold. With the range finder their isn't much to think about. The best one was a hunter in the same group that we hunted together in africa. All of our shots were under 150 yards max in a stand, and rifle rested. He shot and wound an animal at about 40 yards. The guide told him to shot again, and animal move out to about 100 yards. He had one of those scope that you could dial in. He wanted his range finder to range the animal and adjust his scope. The animal walked off never to be found. SSS Mike [/QUOTE]
