Arken issues. Or is this normal ?

Recently picked up a used Arken 4-16x gen2 scope used off a guy local to me. Had a little wear on it, but it was in the original box with the flip caps, bubble level, throw lever, and a cheesy cantilever mount.

Looked through it before I bought it and didn't really see anything that jumped out at me so I paid the guy and was on my way.

After I got home and set it up on my tripod and started looking around and I noticed the parallax was way off. To get it parallax free at 230 yards it's focused to 500 on the scope.

Another thing is the reticle. No matter how I try and focus it, the reticle appears to bend if you get your eye out of the center of the eyebox.

Is this normal behavior for Arken or do I have a warranty claim ?
