Hi All -

I just got an NX8 4-32x50 for an early Christmas present. It's my dream scope, and I love the glass, and can't believe what I've been missing all these years. I have never had a scope this nice. I took it out of the box and was looking at it, installing the throw lever, etc, but the darn locking ring seems super tight. Is this normal? Am I a sissy? How the heck do you loosen it? The reticle looks clear, but I just wanted to make sure it wasn't better in any other position. Any help is appreciated.
