[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 256588, member: 319"] Yes. Send it back and ask for them to fix it. If they won't, get rid of it. I agree with Mike that the only thing that matters is the adjustments being plumb...if you're the type that walks around leaning over, or don't seem to care if your head is cocked sideways or not or who hang pictures on the wall completely crooked and don't notice. ;) Unfortunately I'm not like that. Aiming at things with the reticle not "square with the world" is not something I care to train myself to allow, regardless of what a bubble level might say. A level can surely add some certainty to the equation, but any time the "correct" sight picture is the "wrong" sight picture, you're setting yourself up to get it "right" er, "wrong" sooner or later. Levels are great, and can be of much help when "the world" isn't providing good visual references, but they do not fix crookedly built scopes. When take your car in for an alignment and the guy tells you to drive your car with the wheel turned to the left in order for your car to go straight, would you pay for that alignment? [/QUOTE]
