I tend to agree with this. I have LRHS, DMR2, DMR3 and XRS that have been put through the paces spinning turrets and they haven't let me down. I've shot next to guys using NF, ZCO, Kahles and S&B and I don't feel their scopes gave them significant advantage over me.

Anything can happen but I would be shocked if ARC rings torqued to Ted's recommended specs are the issue.
Swapping the scope in question to another rifle proven to shoot, and swapping another scope to the rifle currently wearing the Leupold seems like a solid method to determine if the Leupold...
