[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 24746, member: 3"] S1 might be onto something, and I didn't think about it until he mentioned it. I received a SA 3rd Gen scope on a trade and the thing was a *** already...the previous owner had tightened the rear ring a little toooooo much and crushed the scope tube. On initial examination of the rifle/scope combination the power ring seemed a little sticky but when we tried to zero the thing it was not very cooperative and the reticle would jump around (not remain zeroed). Loosen the rear scope ring a bit and see if your problem goes away...this cured the adjustment problem on the 3rd Gen I had but the gorilla-fingered SOB that put the scope on in the first place had also chipped some internal lenses (became visible once the power ring became fully operational) and the scope was trash (actually, the scope was trash right from the manufacturer, after all IT WAS A Springfield Armory scope IMHO!).
