[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 1012220, member: 34084"] Are you certain the focus problem was with the focus (parallax) knob, and not the eyepiece diopter ring? Was the reticle in focus? I recommend that you take the scope off and inspect for mounting problems. Look for ring marks, especially near the front ring mount. Rotate the focus mechanism. Is it smoother with the scope off? Can you focus a 100 yd target? If the scope seems to be fine, it's probably a problem with misaligned rings causing stress to the focus mechanism, which is located forward of the turrets. It's hard to see how a focus problem can cause a 4" group at 100 yds, especially if the magnification was set above 12X. At what target range does the scope have a clear focus? [/QUOTE]
