<Bill B>Leupold Scopes
Has anyone on this board ever herd of a guy in Texas that will take a Leupold scope and "targetize" it so that no parts inside of it moves when you are shooting. It almost sounds like he puts an o-ring in front of the crosshairs and replaces a leaf spring with a coil spring to sure it up. He does a lot of work for bench shooters.

GeorgeSNever heard of him. You should be aware that this modification will most likely void the warranty.

DutchA lot of the benchrest crowd has scopes modified like this. It is usually called the "Tucker conversion". Many benchrest shooters feel that the 36X Leupold has a built-in POI shift in the magnitude in the order of .05" at the shot.
For details, ask the question at benchrest.com. HTH, Dutch.

<Bill B>Thanks Guys, I finally found a benchrester, he told me the same as Dutch. At least I know now that the person that told me this was not fibbing or blowing.
Thanks for speedy reply.
