[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 729080, member: 33046"] The guy I was helping yesterday showed back up today with a new, out of the box, scope. He was pretty excited about it and I was sure we'd be moving the bench to the 150yd mark with his Traditons. Boy talk about BAD LUCK...... While trying to dial it in tight after just five shots, all of a sudden the 6th shot went haywire! Ok, he did something or, what the heck???? He loaded it back up, settled it in the rest, looked and said, "Something's wrong!" He handed me the rifle and before I even pulled it up, I realized that there WAS something wrong and very wrong...... The complete interior of his scope disintegrated! You could actually see one of the remaining lens that was broken and the center of the lens missing. Now being honest, it wasn't the highest of quality scope but, I fully understand that some just can't afford to buy higher quality. Doesn't make it bad and many times they work just as good as higher quality. The scope happened to be a Simmons Whitetail. They'll repair or replace the scope for free but, knowing that certainly didn't help with his frustration. My bet is that he'll end up taking one of the scopes off a centerfire for the season. We'll get it I'm sure...... [/QUOTE]
