Author Topic: Trouble with VXII scope (Read 798 times)

Have a 3-9 VXII...adjustment ring for the power is EXTREMELY difficult to turn...hurts my fingers.

Any ideas short of shipping it to Leupold?

Exchange it for another one. Other than that, there is nothing that you can do. I have a Nikon Monarch with the same problem, although it's not that difficult. I worked it back and forth 100 times and it was still the same way. :? I wouldn't do anything else because it might void the warranty.

Guess what...just got an e-mail back from Leupold answering this question. They said...

...power-selector can "bind-up" if the rear mounting ring is too tight. I recommend removing the rear ring-top (leave the front ring attached to avoid needing to sight-in again) and trying to turn the power selector. If it turns easily, you can just re-attach the rear ring-top with less tension - we recommend 15 lbs/INCH.

Maybe this will help you to Zachary...I am going to try this tonight.

Rimfire,

Thanks for the info. I'm going to try to do this tonight too.
