I have a question about my Leupold MK 4 Tactical M3 scope

[jackbolt]

My scope is an older Leupold Tactical Mark4 M3 10X which I purchased in 2003 for 1,400.
In order for me to hear the audio-clicks from the adjustment knobs I need to put my ear close to the knob I'm turning and then it's still difficult. Even the notches are not very deliberate in fact if I sneeze I may skipp several notches. So my question: Is this normal ? My son has a Leupold with audio clicks and I can hear the clicks from 10 feet away?
Please, if anyone knows or owns this scope could you help me understand as I paid alot of $ for this scope. . .

Thanks, Jackbolt

If the clicks are mushy you can try to take the knobs off to see if there's excess grease under them. Otherwise send it in to Leupold as something isn't right.
