Greetings all, I am new to this forum but a long time hunter. I currently have a Leupold VX-3 CDS mounted on my Rem. 700 SPS, SS, 300WSM.  This 700 has been [pillar bedded along with glass bedding the action, recoil lug bedded and the first 2" of the bbl. bedded along with free floating the bbl. The rifle is a very good hunting rifle that has enabled me to take many, many big game animals these past years. My dilemma is that this Leupold VX-3 has been knocked off elevation zero twice in the past. Just this last April I/we were in RSA and the scope was 8" high at 100 meters. This is unacceptable. My thoughts have been to trade or sell this VX-3 and replace it with a Vortex Vioper HSLR in 4-16x44. My VX-3 has been returned to Leupold twice now to have the elevation erector assembly replaced. At this point I have little or no confidence in this Leupold.  What think you all? Thanks in advance for the input. MTG

At what distance do you typically shoot a big game animals where you are? Here in the SC we typically shoot deer at or less than 100 yards...if that.

If at first you don't secede...try..try again.

Thank you for the welcome. I live in NW Montana and some shots will be up to 500 yards in eastern and mid Montana.  Lots of steep angles on occasion. MTG
