snowed pretty good over night. set scope up on rifle on dining room table, cleared the weapon, bolt back, opened sliding glass door, sighted in at 21x on the tree up in the back. GRRRRR Purple fringing along one edge of tree trunk, yellow on the other edge; all branches were also "fringed." Mind, however, this was not nearly as serious as my first copy, but it clearly is NOT good to go, under these optical conditions. Just to make sure, I have two Zeiss photography lenses, a 50mm and 100mm, both with f2 apertures. Not a whit's worth of any fringing, 50mm is a 1300 lens.
I'll be talking Monday with Steve Hanna. This one's gonna have to be replaced, though I feel badly in a way because under normal shooting conditions, I didn't see any fringing at all, so that's the last info he's gotten from me
And damn, I like this scope!!! Turrets, click sound and feel, turrets, and yes the Horus reticle
I'd recommend that any of you all who are having this kind of problem to give Bushnell Performance Optics a call and talk with Steve.

Was this ever resolved in the later production runs, or is some amount of fringing just inevitable with this scope?
