[QUOTE="MTbackwoods, post: 1959626, member: 113441"] Vortex is going to ship me another new scope. After 2 immediate failures, I have no faith though. The first one took a little bit to show signs of failure. So when I got the second one, I took it out of the box and started twisting away on the turrets. As you can see on the target, by shot number 2 it wasn’t tracking properly. So I would recommend doing the same. Work the turrets before you mount it. That way you should know almost immediately if it’s bad or not. They are offering to refund me for the scope and rings I bought so I’m gonna do that and give the Athlon Midas Tac a whirl if scope #3 fails. I just wanted to put this out there as a fair warning to anyone eyeing a Strike Eagle. Being a brand new model, it might take a little while to work the kinks out [/QUOTE]
