Howdy all,
I have a steiner m5xi 3-15x50 that I received about 5 months ago that is having issues with the magnification lever. It has gotten wet a few times now and after sitting in the safe for about a week after its last use the magnification lever/adjustment has become a b**** to turn. Has anyone had the same issues with this?
My best guess is that something on the inside of the mag adjustment rusted up a bit, but there is no outer indication of that. I do take care to wipe down my kit after it gets wet, but it never occurred to me that water could have seeped into that area of the scope.
