Bushnell customer support (or lack there of)

I had a DMR II PRO that had been lightly used since I bought it new. On the last two outings I noticed that the reticle seemed to be out of plumb. I readjusted it and took it out again. Again it got out of plumb while shooting. I sent it to Bushnell for inspection on 7/31/24. On 8/13 I received an email stating that it was indeed defective and I was to receive a new scope. On 9/5 I sent an email to customer service asking for the status of my replacement. I have yet to receive a reply. On 9/9 I called the customer service number during Bushnell's posted business hours and got a recording stating that "due to a large call volume and backlog the queue was closed. Call back later." I called back later that day but during posted business hours and got the same recording. On 9/10 I called during posted business hours and got a recording "You have called after business hours. Please call back later." On 9/11 I called during business hours and got the same recording as on 9/9. The same happened on 9/12 (today).
To summarize, after five calls in four days during Bushnell's regular business hours and one email, I cannot make contact. My conclusion is that either Bushnell has serious technical problems with their communication system and they are not interested in resolving them so as to allow contact with their customers or they have such poor products that they do not want to have contact with their customers. If the latter is true then it will not be long before the problem resolves itself because they will not have many customers to deal with.
If any of you reading this post have any suggestions as to how to get resolution to this problem or have any real insight as to why this problem exists, I would appreciate hearing from you. As of now I have decided not purchase any more Bushnell products. I guess after having outstanding customer support from Vortex, Night Force and Léopold, I have been spoiled.

Maggie’s The Woodchuck and Firewood Hoarders Thread

It seems as though at least a few of us share a second addiction of chainsaws, log splitters (thanks to you wonderfully generous deplorables), firewood hoarding and stacking, and in general just making trees our bitches.

tnichols and I are both on at least one other forum specific to this field, but like us with precision rifles, the guys over there are maniacs for this shit. You can't ask a simple chainsaw question without the general consensus instantly being that you have to have a custom-built pro saw ( and many of them) for every application. I figured there might be some fun in those of us who don't make a daily living at it (with the possible exception of oneshot86 earning his Natty Light money) just sharing some knowledge and pictures of our setups.

I'm also WAY overdue in following up on Splitzilla's status, so this is as good a place as any.

I know we've got pics related to this spread all over "what's my view" and a few other threads, but feel free to duplicate / consolidate them here as you see fit.

So come on 1J04 , MtnCreek MontanaMarine , vh20 , sirhrmechanic, Tucker301 , and all the folks I've seen post up homestead pics, but apologetically can't remember all the user names. Show Off Your Wood!!!!

Firearms Remington produced Springfield 1903A3

Selling a very nice piece of American military history. I purchased it ~4 years ago from a private owner who was a relative of the soldier that the rifle belonged to during WW2. Its current configuration/shape is the same as it was when it was brought back from the war. I’m only selling because I have multiple of these rifles and was lucky enough to have just purchased an A4 sniper model, so just hoping to recoup some funds.

The overall condition of the rifle is very good. The stock is excellent, with no major defects in the wood and has a very prominent “RA-P” cartouche stamp on the left side.

The parkerized finish on the receiver is very good, with only slight signs of wear.

The bluing on the bolt/bolt parts, the barrel, and bayonet lug, is good-very good. Typically signs of light wear on the bolt and bolt handle. The muzzle end of the barrel, and crown, do have some slight-moderate fading of the blue, but is still evident.

All mechanical parts function as they should (the rear sights, the bolt, the magazine, and the trigger). The bore is very bright with no signs of pitting or rust. The rifling does show signs of use, but is still very evident. I have shot this rifle 2 or 3 times, and it shoots remarkably well for its age.

The serial number on the receiver dates its manufacture to June of 1943; which also suggests that the current stock is original to the receiver because of the cartouche stamp “RA-P”, indicating inspector Peterson of the Raritan Arsenal, who was the chief inspector from 1942-1946.

The barrel is stamped RA 8-44.

I’m sure I missed something, so please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Asking $1200 shipped to FFL

Rifle Scopes Kahles or ZCO upgrade

Hello all, I have been using a Vortex Strike Eagle 5x25x56 the past two years with some great results out to 850. However, recently I have been practicing dialing in more at various distance, and it seems my scope tracking isn’t that great. Then of course the little things are beginning to irritate me. That said, I think I might be ready to appreciate an upgrade.

Kahles and ZCO both appear to have many positives. ZCO might have a slightly better customer service program in the states.

I’m leaning towards the k540i DLR, but that might just be overkill for me at this point. Not to mention that the k328i DLR is already in the wild.

ZCO 840 has a lower multiplier, I’m guessing that means that higher zoom will be clearer.

Anyway, I need some help trying to get a grip on expectations. For all with more experience than me, what would you do if you were at two years into long range with longest distance being 850 yards?
