[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 1134948, member: 35183"] That scope has 65MOA of elevation travel. So half that is 32.5 MOA. With a 20MOA base you would have had to dial down 20MOA to get on target, leaving 12.5MOA give or take a little based on the rail and receiver tolerance. You should be operating the scope will within its design specification. Any substantial target image degradation should be cause for a warranty repair. But it is easy to test. Dial the scope UP 10 MOA and see what the image quality looks like ? Then dial it up another 10MOA and try that. My personal recommendation is to not use that scope above 20x. So just dial it down a little and see if that resolves the issue. The exit pupil is very small at 24x and your eye position has to be just right to get a proper image. The difference between 18x 20x and 24x should not be a significant factor in taking a shot at pretty much any reasonable distance. [/QUOTE]
