I did that right after the trip. It’s in my review.

Loaded up some more of the same loads today to shoot again tomorrow. The ride to and from my shooting spot is all off-road, not nice forest roads, shit hole torn up desert rocky roads.

Here is the review.
It looks to me like that scope is moving from shot to shot or the rifle/ammo combo is not great.

I think it’s me so far, need to shoot higher round count groups. Keep in mind the size of that bulls eye, it’s like an inch…, actually less. That’s about as good as I can see at 10x at 100 yards anyway.

ETA: Sorry, your comment is funny to me. Yes the scope is moving, along with the rifle, and the dude shooting it… folding table with sandbags, sitting on a folding chair, on raw desert uneven ground, shooting a 7.5lb rifle… yes! It’s moving. All of it. Haha.

here is ultimate question. Those of you that decided to get rid of your leupolds. Did you sell them or give them away?

If you sold them, your integrity is gone.
Amusing progression.

If true, then the inverse must also be true, the person who bought the scope has no integrity because they took advantage of someone falsely believing the products are flawed..... Now it is starting to sound like buying and selling are not compatible with integrity.

Hell, perhaps giving them away is also an integrity violation and destructive disposal is the only acceptable course. Though, now we might be abligated to pass laws against them too.

Are we at the bottom yet?

I agree, while there is no base group size provided, 1.5 MOA is probably about the precision that can be expected of most hunting rifles. I would say, no evidence of a shift.

The first one Form tested also held (at least while I was following that), so quite possible you got a good one. I was trying to find one available with illumination until the second and third both failed, then decided I did not want to hazard it.

I sold my leopold to a man who knew they were not the best. My integrity survives.
He wanted to place it on a M70, for a classical-look build. I took a buck with it previously, pretty much where I aimed if recalling correctly.
I wanted to get a more robust system for backpack hunts.
