[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 2231518, member: 64108"] "Normal" markings are a discoloration of the surface, usually a bit duller than the rest of the scope body but they should be evenly distributed and match the ring surfaces. Excessive is when they scratch or cut into the scope finish or even dent the tube which means it wasn't installed properly/misaligned. I have seen scopes change the point of impact as you torqued the top ring at various settings, bending the tube. Excessive marks may damage the scope and most manufacturers won't warranty it. Probably best to avoid if it is anything more than surface finish scuffing. I have beat up some scopes pretty bed from falling, etc. and they still functioned 100% but smashing/bending the tube is another story. [/QUOTE]
