[QUOTE="aebhunter, post: 1183172, member: 72979"] Sort of feel your pain on that as well. My HSLR is about to go back...again. I sent it back the first time because the elevation turret broke and it would simply spin freely in it's housing. They were great and sent me a brand new scope, but I was baffled when the work order mentioned that the "ring marks on the scope tube indicate that the rings were too tight". Which had absolutely nothing to do with the elevation turret. I also torqued the rings to 17-18 in lbs, which I was pretty sure was within their spec. So I mount up the new scope and I notice when I have been shooting it at various distances the parallax adjustment is loose. It is really tight and hard to spin as certain points and then just sort of "skips" a few spots at other points of adjustment. I completely understand that the HSLR isn't really considered an "alpha" type scope, but I was really expecting better quality. The fact they have a good warranty is comforting, but it's far from convenient when you have zero confidence in your equipment. In regards to the OP's original post, I guess I wouldn't rule out that there is something wrong with the scope internally. [/QUOTE]
