Always happy to give great advice.

Just thinking about the physics of it, if it wouldnt hold zero from doing that then how is the scope ever going to handle recoil from various rifles, lay sideways in a car while going over bumpy dirt roads etc. It would have to be stored and shipped upright at all times etc. Their scopes are better than that.
Have a look at how they set up the adjustment of reticle tube and you'll see that gravity doesn't come into it. It's basically springs opposing the turrets
It would also mean you could never shoot your rifle "gangsta" style-hold your rifle sideways when hunting so you look cool in tv shows and to all your friends, while trying to intimidate the deer or goat you want to shoot. Leupold would never want to piss off their large hunting gangster customer base (yes, this is all tongue in cheek if it isn't obvious)

bigrich wrote:hey fellas , got a technical question for ya's . now i've got a sako 85 , and although it ejects successfully with a 3.5-10 leupold , with a 2.5-8 it does not . even with the 3-10 the 270 cases contact the bottom of the scope , but with the 2-8 they hit the turret and fall back in the chamber . i've read up on the fixes, and i came across one on africa hunting net . turn the scope 90 degrees to the left . no turrets in the way . you have to write down the changes to make adjustments to save confusion . i've already tried this and no ejection issues at all . but my local GS guy reckons they won't hold zero . but apparently this turning to the scope left thing is used by left handed shooters and big game hunters in africa and alaska .
any thoughts, veiws or experience with this
cheers

but have you considered trying a "higher" set of rings, and maybe avoiding the impact of the casings ?

so there hasn't been any quirks or shifting point of zero with doing this ND ? that's good news

obviously you'll need to sight it in. I cant see how it would loose zero if it didn't before might look a bit weird if its got the dots on the vertical crosshair tho and you turn it 90deg

You will definitely have to re-zero.
