Yep, they are cheap scopes. The first thing I did with my rifle was remove the scope and redo all the screws. Two base screws were loose. After that the scope has worked pretty well. Elevation even seems to return to set points well enough. It is on a .223 HB so it does not get much recoil. One of these days I might get a better scope for it.

PS when I get something this inexpensive I don't expect any quality control (QC inspectors cost more than assy workers). If I paid $1000 for it then I'd definitely be ticked off.
