[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 95406, member: 5302"] The reason your scope changes magnification is the two lenses that do this change their front to back positions from heavy recoil. Each lens is mounted in a ring with pins on each side that slide in a sleeve with two spiral grooves. As you turn the power change ring the sleeve turns and each lens moves a different amount. I'd send the scope back to Weaver as this problem should not occur. What do you mean by "Its a first focal plane." The reticule is in the second focal plane behind the two zoom/erector lenses and about two inches in front of the eyepiece lens. [/QUOTE]
