I bought a VX-1 4x12x40 and put it on a new NEF 308, for an out west antelope hunt, ended up with shotgun pattern at 100, and a new zero ever time I went to the range,
after numerous trips to the range I tossed the NEF and bought a savage 308,,,,,,,, Installed the Leupold on it,,,,, same end results, will not hold zero and annoyed operator,
I put a used bushnell 3x9 on it and VIOLA !! inch groups at 100 yards, while the scope isnt the clearest at distance its holding up very well, better than my great optics / wandering zero Leupold scope

Leupold hasnt replied to my e-mails yet about it.

anyone else have issues with them?? I hear rumors of bad internal springs,bushing and elevators ect??
