[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1952725, member: 8873"] You haven’t 100% ruled out the scope (or proven that it is), but if you are convinced the scope is faulty then give them a call. My experience with potential scope issues is this; even scopes (from a big name company) that I knew to be faulty because I checked the mounting hardware, made sure everything on the gun was torqued properly, cleaned the barrel, shot a proven load through, had someone else I trust shoot it, swapped to a proven scope, etc...come back with a clean bill of health. This was because all they did was mount the scope in an apparatus and run the turrets while looking through a collimator checking for reticle movement, showing nothing when under harsh recoil (probably similar to what your rifle produces). Here’s another problem I would be facing in your situation, even if they just sent me a brand new scope I would never trust it again on that rifle. I know that any scope can fail at any point, but confidence in your equipment goes a long ways. You have lost that at this point. The worst could be you waist some money on shipping and are out a scope for a while. Well that’s definitely not the worst but you see what I’m saying. But then again you may start taking the scope off and notice something wasn’t tight to begin with. Good luck, if you want to talk shoot me a pm and I’ll give you my number. [/QUOTE]
