I''m strictly talking about the center "X", not any of the hash marks for elevation or windage.
I haven't seen it in any of my scopes, but then again I haven't specifically looked for it or tested for it either. But a buddy of mine says that it's to be expected and common, especially with the SFP scopes. I only have one or two FFP scopes, all the rest of mine are SFP scopes.
Personally, I use the rangefinder and dial. If I will be using the scope reticle for windage I will move the magnification so that the reticle is correct for using it that way on the SFP scopes that I have.
I want to make sure that the POI (center "X") shouldn't move with either scope before I open my pie hole and tell my buddy that he needs to quit buying *** scopes and step up his equipment or quit using the equipment as excuses for why the gun isn't shooting well.
