[QUOTE="permaculture, post: 563671, member: 35296"] I have a new Monarch 2.5 x 10. It seemed great at the range but when I was hunting, I saw some green reflection inside the scope. The coatings of the glass are green and it seemed like there was some sort of glare, etc. that was showing up on parts of the reticle. This happened in the AM, but with no direct sunlight on it. I have not seen this happen since, but I don't use the scope much. This did not repeat itself again on this trip. This did not ruin the hunt and it is unlikely that it would have affected any shot that may have presented itself. It was more puzzling than anything else as it was appearing in any direction I pointed. I don't use drugs so we can't claim it to be related to LSD or something. Maybe I have some odd eye issue that was manifesting itself. The rear flip-up scope cap also broke at the hinge in the cold weather. I should have been more gentle with it. My misuse of the scope did cause me to miss a cow while seated. I was magnified at 2.5x and am in the habit of flipping the rifle on the side to grip it to zoom in. When I zoomed to 10 I could not reacquire the elk fast enough and caught the tail end of it going back into the woods. This is 100 percent my fault. [/QUOTE]
