Re: Specks inside scope?

It obviously sounds to me like you have some type of debris inside of the scope. From what I have read, and I have owned a few of them, Milletts are kinda hit and miss on QC. That being said, I would see about sending it back for warranty service/replacement if it is a new scope. Sorry I couldn't be more help but that is what I would do if I were in your shoes. Good luck.

Beat it on a phone book, or hit it with a rubber mallet until the speck's gone.

-no wait, that's what you're supposed to do with USO's if there's a speck you don't like, I'm not sure if the Millet would take it-better send it in, as I doubt they'll warranty it if you told them you beat it on a phonebook or hit it with a mallet.......

It works, but what a pita, send it back.

Do the specs move around if you smack it? I would still send it back.. Give them a chance to make it right...
