    Should Reticle jump around...


    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! ... 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

    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

    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 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.

    you'll find many complaints of Nikons as well. I stick to luepold or vortex anymore...I am trying one of those primary arms scopes since there's so much good reviews on them.

    And you may never hope to see one! Actually, you're right, Robinhood, and I only saw this one for just a few minutes, but thinking back it must have been a Bushnell Elite. A very nice looking scope and at $79.00 was within my budget…LOL.
