RE: Leupold VX-II or Nikon Buckmaster?
Strut, I' m sure you don' t want to do this as it is probably getting close to your season, but send your scope back. Leupold has great customer service. I had a 2x7 Vari X II on my 1976 Ruger. In 1994 the scope went bad, it wouldn' t adjust to the right. I sent it in to Leupold through my local gun shop and they sent me a brand new one and they picked up the shipping cost as well. Now that' s service! I can' t promise the same for you, but the next scope I buy will be a Leupold.
