So I did some shooting through the summer and have been out this fall since I haven't gotten much hunting in and have hit a snag:
I've got a Leupold VX3 4.5-14x40 with an M1 elevation turret. the turret tracks very true to MOA, but it doesn't always track. So, about 1 time out of 4, when I twist the turret and shoot, the bullet hits at the previous setting, the shot will bump everything into place, and my second shot will hit at the current setting. I have tried bumping the scope a bit after adjustment to put things in place, but it doesn't always work.
On my mule deer hunt this fall, there was no way I would have made any adjustments prior to a shot as I have little confidence in my setup at the moment.
The Leupold is in no way a cheap scope, but does one need a $1500 Nightforce to have confidence in turret adjustments or do I just have a bad apple?
