Drawn out Problem with Leupold Scope - What should I do?

But the glass, the glass

Their glass isn't good compared to Austrian glass.
There is literally no upside to leupold.

Except maybe the mark5 (maybe)

I own a safe full (at least 12) Leupold
Scopes and not a single one has had to go back.

You're a lucky man and not typical. I have exactly one Leupold that has tracked and held zero over 40 years of owning many various models from them. Most failed to hold zero after riding in the truck in a padded case. I have to drive washboard roads to get about anywhere I hunt so what good is a scope that you can't count on to handle that even in a big Pelican case? I like many really wish they would build one that I could have faith in but after too many failures with too many of them I quit.

I’m going to go ahead and give you the “understatement of the year” award

I wish Leupold was a notable problem here, but as bad as they are, they are WAY down the list of something’s that aren’t right in Oregon

If I was in your position and had the funds, I'd ditch that scope and get something else. Even if there's a cure, it would always be in the back of my head that there could be a problem that would happen on a once in a lifetime shot.

This.

You missed my point.

Nope, not even the mk5.

Let’s face it. They’re a less shit on version of vortex because they’re made in America.

They both have their issues, both dump a TON of money into sponsors that pimp their product, but vortex has a way better warranty, night and day better. For that reason I’ll take vortex every day over leupold.

Choosing between only those 2 options sounds like a Devil's bargain to me.

So, what's the final resolution?
