Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta scope broke today?

[M5NSX]

Well the scope still works but something inside broke and is easily visible inside the scope. You can also hear it rattling around with a little shaking. I was shooting 308 suppressed when it happened. This is the 525P with Gen 2XR reticle in an Era Tac Mount. I know Tangent is great with their customer service but such a hassle. A couple pics although not the best with my old phone. Ugh...

 

[pmclaine]

Well the heavy recoiling .308 will do that.......

Kidding aside all reports are they will make your scope right.

Shit happens, sorry it happened to you.

 

[10ring'r]

Looks like an inner gas ring(?). Really gotta suck tho. Mac

 

[Long Range 338]

NNNoooooo..... Sucks man, hate to hear it. Such great scopes.

 

[JMGlasgow]

Looks like a lock ring typically used to secure a lens. Could also be used to double up a lock ring the same way you double nut a fastener if you don't want it coming loose.

Piece of shit

 

[Daherc]

Well time to buy an Athlon Argos BTR. Lol

It clearly one of the features. “Scope inside a scope.”

Also, the rattling is all the poor peasant souls tangent uses to make the scope trying to escape. It takes souls of three Athlon and one IOR owner to create one tangent theta optic.

 

[CSTactical]

The Gen 2 XR's are sad they were divorced for the new hot Gen 3 XR j/k

 

[whatsupdoc]

That would never of happened if you had bought a Quigley_Ford optic from Buddly instead of that POS TT.

 

[300 grainpill]

I’ll give u $100 for it so u won’t be out a total loss?

 

[Cascade Hemi]

If you had bought an IOR you'd have only needed a sticker on the turret to fix the factory defect.

 

[kriller134]

Should have bought a vortex. They have a vip warranty!

 

[Gunfighter716]

It's just a feature...j/k

 

[spife7980]

So is that what people are referring to when they say “second focal plane?”

 

[Huskydriver]

Whats this? A tt and a nf down in the same week?? Lol sucks op hope they fix it fast and painless

The main question is, what action is that?

 

[Vargmat]

It looks like a Ritter & Stark to me.

 

[acudaowner]

and here I thought you dropped it in a ravine or over the side of a cliff send it back they fix a few weeks It will be all better . that or they laugh at you saying Its your fault and they will not fix it .

 

[bhoges]

I'd be upset considering the cost of that scope. But I guess everyone even the top dogs crap out.

 

[Mr.BR]

Surely you can get a IOR for replacment , inside lens retaining ring falling of from imense recoil of .308 man that sure is tough .

 

[stello1001]

Should have gone with gen 2 razor...

 

[M5NSX]

Yes it is a Ritter & Stark Rifle/action. Armament is already all over it. They send out the UPS call tags for the return to Canada. Have a bunch of customs forms to sign and include as I did it last November for this scope as the illumination feature stopped working. Maybe they will just send me a new Gen 3XR?????

I would get one if they made it in black.

 

[Tunnuh]

2 failures??? I thought the price included self repairing technology. That would be sweet the gen3 xr is nice

I could see that too if I did drop it but I baby the shit out of it. I’ve fired it with the 300WM and 338LM barrels without any problems. Shit happens. Armament who owns Elcan and Tangent are really good and quick with their service. Unfortunately I know because I’ve sent this scope back once already.

 

[canezach]

Well, gentlemen, a TT went down. Time to grab the pitchforks!

[/QUOTE

Technically the third. I bought it here and the original owner sent it back because the turret didn’t line up exactly. I think I qualify for a new scope!!

 

[Sixfivesavage]

Maybe they'll let you credit it for 1k towards a new one like the premier scopes. You know, after they check the list to see if your scopes serial number is eligible for warranty or not.

I contacted them late last night and I already have the UPS shipping label to send it back. They will take care of it. I’ll suggest sending me a new one......

 

[Tunnuh]

You do brother...you do for sure!

Haha.. no kidding. Then you could say

I'm sure they'll take care of it, I'm just busting on TT that's all.

 

[stello1001]

Haha

Haha i was just messing but yeah, the current color i could care less about. Black though, thats a different story...

 

[Long Range 338]

Whats this? A tt and a nf down in the same week?? Lol sucks op hope they fix it fast and painless

How in the hell do you do enough shooting in one week to break 2 scopes??? Obviously you don't understand how this safe queen thing works...

 

[Huskydriver]

I have no safe Queens...if it doesn't get shot, I don't own it. But I'm just ribbing the TT and nf fan boys because an atacr went down in another thread too this week.

Seriously though after looking through your TT it's got me putting a genx3r on the list ?

 

[YF12A]

Well, gentlemen, a TT went down. Time to grab the pitchforks!

Don't forget to bring the torches so we can see in the dark up North and keep warm!

 

[pmclaine]

I see a Quigley in your future.........

All we need is an AI to go down to really have a party.

well if you want perfect glass and tracking plus reliability you buy Nightforce

Didnt a guy send a atacr back twice in another thread this week? Sounded like NF was giving him the run-around to fix it too

Edit* Correction it's a nxs

Almost every scope can or has broken

as opposed to the TT busting on the OP?

 

[Cheyenne Bodie]

Didn't NF have some hiccups with the zero stop on some NX scopes recently? Something about messy thread cutting on the turrets IIRC.
