Vx-6 3-18x50mm leopold quality failed - Leupold VX-6 3-18x50mm Side Focus CDS Rifle Scope

I purchased a VX 6 Leopold 3-18x50mm with side focus CDS reticle and was disappointed when I received it, because the reticle had a void in the vertical post.. Must be once in a blue moon time when a quality inspection slipped through the crack. However, Optics Planet allowed me to exchange it with no penalty or restocking fee. It was not any fault of Optics Planet since the scope is sealed in the box and one can not determine the condition of the scope when mailed out. My only concern is that it takes about 10 working days for processing the exchange which I think is to long for such an expensive item. Hope to receive a good one next week sometime before I can evaluate the optics and structural integrity. Perhaps I could give the scope a higher rating if the second one is up to standards.
