What model of leupold do you have? Fogging inside or outside? If outside ain't the scope or glass fault. If inside it needs to go back to leupold.

As I mentioned I own a monarch its pleasant to look through bright image but not as clear as some others. Mine the power ring is very stiff and difficult to adjust with gloves on. POI tracking hasn't been consistant, might seem minor to most people but when your use to 4 clicks and it moving 1"...bothersome to me. Again jmo its a bit chucky in desgin and looks. Has held zero and works, just not my favorite scope and as such its on a back up now. I prefer the elite 4200 to the monarch. Step better is the zeiss conquest. Check around, ie: doug at cameraland ny had conquest specials under 400 for a 3x9x40 with zplex reticle. They are very good low light scopes, I doubt you'd be unhappy.

You should really do some side by side checking, your eyes/likes may see things differently.

Best of luck
