[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 563761, member: 30902"] My bet is you need to have your scope remounted. If there's a cant to it, normally that's not a problem with the scope it's a problem with the mounting. Also my bet is you need to properly focus the scope. Mount the rifle with your eyes closed. When you open them focus only on the reticle. If it is not perfectly crips and clear you need to adjust the focus which is done by loosening the retaining ring at the back in front of the ocular and then twist the ocular right and left a few turns until you zero in on exactly where you need to get it properly focused. If it's not properly focused that would explain your problem. Spending a thousand or more on a scope is not going to solve a mounting and focus issue. Now if you just want to buy a new scope then in that price range I'd definitely go with the NF over the Vortex. I just have a thing about spending that kind of money on a scope made by a company that isn't at least as old as I am. I'll let other people gamble on what's new and cool when it comes to expensive optics. I want to know that for my investment there's decades of history behind that scope and a company likely to be there decades from now to service their lifetime transerrable warranty. [/QUOTE]
