[QUOTE="rinodods, post: 493859, member: 12216"] I'm sure it doesn't make you feel any better but I got to have a talk with Scott at Vortex today about my PST. Turns out I had about 1 MIL of windage left and the blur I was seeing was due to the erector being adjusted so far (**Excuse my probably poor description of the issue**). Apparently Scott said that the PST does not have a stop internally which allows for more windage adjustment however it will move far enough to make it appear to darken and cause the issue I was seeing. Some scopes would stop adjusting before they got far enough to cause what I was seeing. After mounting another scope in some different rings and bore sighting everything lined up nearly perfectly with the reticle centered. Threw the rings I had on the PST (Burris Extreme Tactical) back on the EGW 20MOA mount to check them out. They looked out of alignment to the naked eye. I placed a machinist rule against the rings and what do you know the front ring was off to the right of the bore and the rule caught air on one side when laid flat down the rear inner ring side. Turns out Scott had a similar conversation with another customer less than two weeks ago. Same Burris rings and another bad alignment issue. Probably the last time I go with burris extreme tactical rings. I'm not sure I could even get this much error lapped out. It is something I should have checked before I got everything mounted. I was just so excited I didn't slow down and do all the checks I should have. I also should have caught it zeroing but again I wasn't paying much attention to the corrections required. I was just having a great time with the new toy. SHAME ON ME!! Vortex customer service was amazing! Scott was on the phone the same day the scope showed up. They paid shipping both ways even though the issue was not their problem in the end. He was even replacing the scope just in case being adjusted so tight caused permanent compression to the spring. Did he have to do that? Of course he didn't and I wouldn't have expected it or requested it. Overall an awesome experience and one I took something away from. [/QUOTE]
