@sticman77 - it was the LEAP 07. They ended up basically (or actually) doubling the number of hinges and now the 08/09s exist (and the 07s don't any longer).
FWIW, I have an 07 that I had an NF NX 1-8 in on a LaRue PredatOBR in .308, and mine is still just fine. The problem (from what I observed from the internet postings which, as you know, are 100% truthful and reliable), occurred with the ones that had full size scopes in theirs. it's also worth noting that Scalarworks apparently replaced everyone's who broke. Also, they're by far the easiest mount to actually mount your optic in/level.
That said, I buy Spuhr for mounts and Nightforce Ultralites for rings most of the time. But I wouldn't hesitate to buy the new Scalarworks.
