Re: Falcon 5-25x Failure
It happens with the Falcons (unfortunately more often than it should). I got dinged earlier this year when mine crapped out after about 3mo of use.
There are a couple different threads floating around now on the Falcon failures, etc.

Re: Falcon 5-25x Failure
Yeah, I searched around and saw a couple of threads, but they were more like 1 year down the road things.
The interesting thing is that I had a ~.500 group going, and the last shot was a flyer ~1" high or so. Didn't think I pulled it either. hmmm

I used a 4-14 at the international. It was attatched to a POF P308 and the f&#king reticle twisted 5 or so degrees on the second day! It still seamed to track accurately but talk about loosing your warm and fussy.

Re: Falcon 5-25x Failure
I ordered a 5-25x50 from Matt @ Wonders Optics a couple months ago. When I was out shooting I noticed that when I turned the power ring to the highest and lowest settings, the retical would cant. I contacted Matt and got the scope sent back and waited for replacement. When I received the replacement I put it up for sale because I needed the money for personal reasons. While browsing the web I came across threads where people were having problems with canting reticals. So I took the scope and mounted it to a rifle, looked at the white wall at the end of the hallway and sure enough, the damn retical would cant when you turned the power ring at any setting. So it went back to Matt. Now I'm waitng for him to send me a new 12x44 WOTAC mil/mil.
Very disapointed with Falcon.
