Ive had it for at least a month now sitting around the house waiting for its home on a new rifle I was putting together.
Fast forward, here we are, the rifle is done and I put the scope on it. Its sitting up against the couch because I simply cannot stop touching the gun so I had left it out to keep fondling it. My girlfriend then sits down on the couch and the thing slides over and hits the carpet. I tell her, no big deal, that's why I spend the money on those things. So it can take that kind of abuse.
Well so I pick the gun up again about an hour later and now from about 1.5-3 I see a small black fleck of something in the reticule. As I move to a higher focus it disappears from sight. I am thinking "ok, that's weird, that was not there before". So I bust out a lens pen and try to clean it off, nothing, its still there.
At this point I am thinking to myself, "you have got to be kidding me, please". Out of fear I check the digital push button function. Now I must say I have used the function at least 50 times since I got the optic, but for no longer than seconds just to show people. So I turn it on and crank it all the way up because it still bright out and what I observe is the brightness flickering from full to about half power. I noticed it will flick up and down in power and then settle on a power setting.
I know its a weekend so I cannot call anyone, but I will be calling USO first thing in the morning. At this point my biggest regret is having a local class 3 dealer acquire the scope for me, I wish I would have bought it directly. That would probably come in handy now that this has happened.
This is just my luck. So what should I do?
