    Tight power rings are common with leupolds

    Leave the rifle / scope in the hot water cupboard to warm it up

    Then turn the power ring 50x times to redistribute the assembly grease

    When the scope cools again its often much softer to turn
    Scouser, 257weatherby and rockland like this.
    A big fast bullet beats a little fast bullet every time
