Horrible! highly disappointed with leupold! - Leupold VX-3i LRP 8.5-25x50mm Side Focus TMOA Rifle Scope

9-30-2018; Ive been a Leupold fan for 25+ years. But this scope was HORRIBLE! I had tons of parallax around the edges, and there was absolutely ZERO sweet spot for eye relief. Id find a half decent spot with less parallax, but the eye relief sucked. Id try to find decent eye relief, and the parallax was horrible! I contacted Leupold directly, and they said yeah, it shouldnt look like that, send it out to us. So I wasted another $12 shipping it back to Leupold. 4-5 weeks later!....I get it back EXACTLY the way I shipped it to them with their little job sheet of service performed...…"Scope was found to be in specs". That was it! DONE! I just returned it to Optics Planet and Im exchanging it for a Nightforce. Im hoping the Nightforce is better, but it cant be any worse than this scope! Im actually not sure how guys are giving this good reviews.
