Leupold reticle is crooked

[toddh]

I've always been a big Leupold supporter dating back to the early 90's. I've never had an issue. Bought a VX5 a couple years ago and I always felt the reticle was crooked. Scope level would be dead center but it just felt off to me. Finally put a plumb bob up and yep it's crooked! Will be sending it off.

Rotate the scope in the rings until the reticle is level?

Then the scope is actually not level.

 

[KurtR]

send it in get it fixed

 

[K9kodi]

Is it still holding zero?

 

[journeyman713]

The reticle Is the thing you should be leveling to the plumb-bob.

 

[toddh]

Is it still holding zero?

I believe so.

 

[Q_Sertorius]

I believe so.

Then you better hang on to it and not touch it, because you have the only one that does!

As long as the reticle is tracking level, you’re fine. If the reticle is tracking crooked then that’s an issue

I just got a Mark4HD back from warranty. 7 weeks turnaround time for me.

Mine randomly started shooting 5mils right of zero, which wasn't ideal. They supposedly replaced the erector assembly, so we'll see.

I was left a little underwhelmed at the lack of communication. I'm hoping it actually is fixed and stays fixed.

You got a pic of the scope on rifle with levels?

No I don't. the scope covers hide the level from the camera. But it's level.

Try tapping on the turrets. That oftentimes gets em squared away…

If tapping on the turret changes the plumb of the reticle you have bigger problems.

EVERY Leupold that I've ever sent in says that they rework or replace the erector assembly in their report. Tracking issue... Erector assembly. Zero retention issue.... Erector assembly. Turret issue.... Erector assembly. Magnification ring.... Erector assembly. Loose objective lens ... Let's go ahead and rework/replace the erector assembly since we have to work on the lens. EVERY SINGLE ONE, EVERY SINGLE TIME.

At this point in the game, I think that field is just pre-populated in their report.
