I have a Leupold VXII 3x9x40 on mine and have never had a problem with it. Before it I put a little VX I and it held like a champ.

You dont have to pay alot to have something nice!!!!
KIND OF LIKE THE OLD BOY THAT GOT COUGHT SCREWING THE SOW..
IT AINT THE LOOKS ,, IT'S THE FEELING THAT COUNTS.

Those are words to live by.
