Tommy needs glasses...
Now that I've got the hardwood floor ordered, I have a couple of days to tinker. Got out Tommy or Tinker, depends on who you talk to , Got every thing all set up to test fire some 190SMK's and on the 3rd shot, the recoil of the gun sent the focus to a big blur. No matter which way I turned the side focus on the Leupold 8.5x25 VX III, I could not get it back into focus. I had used some red lock tite to hold the rings and bases in place earlier because I was having trouble with it coming loose, so I wasn't too thrilled about having to remove it. Not too much trouble, I just applied a little heat to the bottom of the mounting screw via a hot screw driver tip and the torx heads came undone. Anyhow, that was in the evening, after dark that I removed it. I waited until morning to box it up for shipment. I gave it one last look and ran the side focus knob and you would have thought that nothing was wrong with it. I called Leupold service for some advise and they said that since there wasn't anything wrong with it now, he doubted that they could find anything wrong with it. He suggested that I put it back on the gun and try it again. Well, I did that. During the sight-in process, the 2nd shot, the scope goes blurry again. Same as before, I can't adjust it. So now I'm in the process of sending it in to Leupold for repair. Guess I should of got a SS That's OK, I really didn't want to shoot anyway. It was much too nice of a day to enjoy outside. Back to the flooring project for now.
