Quilly,

The 2x7 was my first Leupold. I ordered it from Midsouth Shooter's Supply in 1988. When it arrived, I could not even turn the adjustments. Midsouth told me to return it directly to the factory. Leupold replaced the adjustements and the scope worked fine for a couple of years. Their customer service was great and I had the scope back in about 2 weeks,

While shooting several years ago, I noticed that the shots were wandering to the right after each shot. I'd adjust and it would be fine for a shot or so then wander again. I looked at the windage adjustment and noticed that it moved very easily and would move at each shot. A 308 is not a hard recoiling rifle by any stretch. It has been back 2 additional times for the same problem. 2 years ago the "problem" cost me a truly large buck as the windage moved during my drive to one of the areas I hunt.

Just this weekend I wanted to adjust it again (switched back to 150 grain bullets) and noticed that I can barely move the adjustments again. Not necessarily a problem as long as it stays put but when do you stop trusting it.
