More detail:
Write “Vortex” on it and send it back for a free replacement.
we tried to warn you what happens when you use moa....
It might be your first scope that can do that but it's far from the first ever made to have that ability
this is a gun that that scope needs to be mounted on
there was a para scope type of deal around the same era that used mirrors to see an image yea a really poor image quality image from around a bend as well as the gun I just can't seem to find anything on it but , but I think they used to have it in the museum at Aberdeen in MD I believe that's where I saw it can you even see out of yours? maybe they shipped you a prototype new scope by accident . and it could be worth a lot of money lol

Your wife backed over it didn't she ! 
I would have liked to mount that on a rifle with the rear ring and see how it does. It’s impressive that you can still see though it ( kinda)
You tried breaking in your rifle the wrong way?
My attempt at a caption.
When you bend the scope to match your bubble level.

My guess.. Piece of gear fell on it.. or.. someone grabbed it by the scope from the rifle laying on its side?? Idk how you broke it.
That sucks
That sucks
Another USO durability test fail,...Next manufacture please.
Hopefully it is a good story. I have no idea what happened but the captions offered gave me a good laugh.
That was My first thought... They tried USO test on it. And failed.
IMHO would take more than car backing over it to do that. NF scopes are rugged as hell.
Doesn’t look like any damage to the bell...
Be interesting to hear what happened to it.
Caption: “I fixed your scope! Shut up, Carl!”
Sirhr
Set scope on bench
Scope looks over and sees it being mounted on a Savage
Scope throws itself off the bench as a form of suicide to avoid a lifetime of embarrassment

UPS or FedEx left too close to driveway - someone rolled their car over it?

Does not appear to have any impact on same side as tube fracture: you were working on mounted scope in bench vise, you step back, lose your balance and grab the scope to keep from falling down.
Bump fire mag dumps on a Barret 50 until it cracked. Then you pulled it down and bent it so we could see the crack.
Did they send you the one they were pounding in nails with on the test video?

Well, those were some good ones
...nothing too exciting though, UPS just had their way with it and returned it without any real explanation as to what happened...assuming one of the big browns rolled right over it.

WTF did the box look like!!!???Your NF sir...please sign on the line
Bingo
They had to send back the pieces of the box in a new box...NF packaging wasnt even there...but the PTL in the little envelope survived!
On the bright side... Now you can get a ZCO!
The Scar17 will really eat optics...
That is just the latest scope "break in" procedure that will allow the scope + rifle combination to go out to 4 miles...
Without that "side" scope cant, how else are you going to apply 200+moa of windage in 100mph wind gusts at 4 mile range?

Bend it back, duct tape it, shoot it, and report back! Those NF Scopes are tough!
