Hello Gents,
I have been lurking here for a while. I have an issue so I decided to join. I purchased one of the Euro Optics Schmidt Bender 644-911-972-89-64A68 USMC M8541 optics for a M40A3ish rifle I have been putting together for years. The first one I received the elevation turret was locked up with less than 8 MRAD's of movement so I contacted Euro Optics and sent it back. They said it would have to go back to the manufacturer and they promptly send me another. This 2nd I received is 4 scopes later in the serial number line so they were probably assembled by the same person I suspect. The issue I am having with this 2nd one is that is seems to be locked on the send rotation. I get 10 mils of adjustment with the heavy clunk of the MTC turret with 6 mrads on either side and that is in line with what it should be. I can find very little info on this USMC turret. I am familiar with the optic but not these turrets. I should be able to wind down and have somewhere in the range of 23 mils of adjustment. This is not a locking turret and I tried resetting the zero stop and when done I get the same result. I find it extremely hard to believe that I have received two defective SB optics so I suspect this is user error. Any assistance is appreciated. I know I can contact Euro Optics and return this but at this point I might be better off sending it to Schmidt Bender and having this fix it if the problem is not me.
