I guess it just goes to show that every scope out there has had an owner that had trouble. It doesn't matter ir it's brand X, Y, or Z. That's probably why every scope company has a customer service departments.

I used to work with a guy who wouldn't blink an eye at buying a $1000.00 rifle (back in the 70s), and then he'd always put the cheapest Weaver Scope he could find on it. Every year or two he'd have to send them back to the factory, and they'd send him a new one. He thought that he was getting a great deal. Now, I don't mean to bash Weaver's, because they did make some virtually indestructable scopes, but some of their cheaper models were best put to use propping open doors.
