[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1448606, member: 313"] I've got a Swarovski X5 5-25x52. I had my gunsmith change the Burris signature rings to a set of Talley lightweight ring/bases. That's when the trouble began. Smith had problems with the paralex (sp) adjustment and couldn't get things corrected. Talley (reportedly) had previous issues with Swarovski scopes. Several changes were tried before sending the scope back to Swarovski for an evaluation. Swarovski charged me $250 to change the scope tube that had been pampered since purchase and merely had a new set of rings installed by a qualified gunsmith. When I sent Swarovski an email asking for an explanation for the charges they didn't even have the decency to respond. I was poised to by another X5 for my hew 6.5 Creed but that changed with their lack of response and lack of support of their product. Just ordered a new Leupold VX-6HD because they absolutely stand behind their scopes. Moral of the story - I suspect that the scope was at fault. And .... avoid Swarovski because their customer service is really bad. [/QUOTE]
