I have a what I perceive to be a problem with my Leupold VX-R Patrol w/FireDot:
Here's the deal:
Several weeks ago I ordered the above scope off the web. Good scope except for one thing. If I understand correctly from Leupold's literature, you can set the dot on ANY brightness, lay the scope down for 5 minutes and then when you pick the scope back up, it will "wake up" at that same setting. The scope I ordered would not do that. It came back on WAY dimmer. I called Leupold, the tech said yeah, it should come back on with the same brightness. Not wanting to send a brand new scope back to Leupold, I sent the scope back (with full disclosure) to the vendor for a refund.
I liked the scope so much (except for the above problem) that I ordered another one from another source expecting "No problems". Well, the second scope does the same thing
. Am I missing something here? I would appreciate any input from anyone familiar with this scope as to what their experiences are.
