Hey Holler, In 2011 while prepping for an upcoming elk hunting trip, I had a Leupold 2.5 x 8 that also had an M1 elevation turret put on it by the custom shop. It was mounted on a FA M83 with TSOB base and three rings. The gun and load had showed tremendous long range potential. After less than 100 rounds that turret just couldn?t take the recoil and it flew off and landed behind me (luckily not striking me in the face). I sent it back and just told Leupold to put a standard turret on it. I think it was just asking too much of that set up. I have yet to have a fail of any other Leupold that was left standard. Good luck.
