[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1507977, member: 103303"] That's an interesting problem. I wouldn't spend too much time trying to sort it out - you have a good description of what's happening - time to test out the warranty department. It's actually a pretty common problem for POI to change with magnification in scopes with a reticle in the second focal plane (SFP), but POI shift is not the same as the scattergun effect you are seeing. Could be mechanical - the erector housing is too big for the erector assembly at one end - manufacturing tolerances? Missing a bushing? Who can say. Could be an optical problem causing parallax? Any chance of returning it for store credit? [/QUOTE]
