When adjusting ocular focus? Sorry, rhetorical question. I just noticed when pointing the scope against the sky that the reticle jumps if I touch or move the focus ring! :o... Which means I've wasted a lot of ammo working up OCW loads, with frustrating results over the past few months. I'd load up 20 rds of a load that look promising, and shoot a 5 shot ragged hole, followed by a 5 shot shotgun spread. Couldn't figure it out :frusty:
Today I removed the POS Bushnell Banner Dusk & Dawn scope and installed the original Nikon Pro Staff 3-12 X 40, and waddaya know…….. I can shoot after all :rockon:
Scope is only a few months old, so it's going back for a little tune up, or maybe a trade in.
On another note…..I missed out on a very good Nikon Elite 6-36 X50 scope at the grand opening of a new "cheaper than……you know what" store nearby, priced at……$79.00 !!! I know, but don't wet you pants just yet…..
I took it to the counter and the cashier rang it up, $995.00 :o I'm like, "holy ****ake mushrooms"!
After much discussion with the manager, they refused to sell it to me at the advertised price. I know, I could have pressed the issue, but didn't.
Live and learn.
