Rifle Scopes Weird marks on inner turret PSTgen2

Yeah, i thougt that at first too, but it was the first time i hade the outer turret off, and they seem a bit many to be from the factory tests/quality checks? Also - i think they are kind of deep for it to be clamp screws that caused that? Anyways - i got a hold of Vortex, the guy who picked up the phone checked a scope in their showroom, and that one got the same marks, randomly placed. So its all good i think
But should they be there when its brand new? they also seem kinda deep for the screws to have caused it. Im also a little curious if others have theese marks as well.
Was it a demo? Almost looks like someone gave the turret a spin after it had reached the it's end of travel.
As long as the set screws are able to firmly bite into the brass without spinning, you shouldn't have any issues.

Also, i tried to figure out how the outer/inner turret worked. I tried to turn the brass knob with the outer turret removed, but i couldent turn it. Shouldent i be able to make clicks on the turret, by turning the brass knob with the outer turret removed, if its only the 3 screws that makes contact to the inner turret?
I bet if you grab it with some side cutters you'll be able to turn it.
I understand wanting to know how things work, but rest assured, that is what you're turning with the turret. No need to grab it with side cutters.
Also, i think that the mark would be a more linear long scratch, if someone did what you are describing? Theese seems like individual dimbles, not a pointy screw that was dragged along the surface that i would expect to see of someone did like you described?
Lol thanks man
No need for side cutters, i was just wondering if i was missing something when i couldent turn the brass knob Why if i may ask? I was surpriced i could not. If the 3 screws on the outer turret just grab the brass, i should be able to turn it without using too much force i would have guessed.
Yeah maybe i should... I just cant help to think its not normal, espicially when being brand new.
Well, you do sound convincing i must say
Do you also have a PST gen2? i would really like to see a picture for peace of mind if you have one, cause even if its normal with marks, i still think they seem kinda deep. im wondering if some newbie at the factory have overtighten the screws since the marks are so deep. I do however believe you when you say marks are normal, you sound like you know alot more than me when it comes to things like that - so thanks for confirming that for me, i really appriciate it Hehe, okey - you convinced me ;-) Thanks alot man, i can clearly see with the pictures you provided that everythings normal with my scope. I want to thank you for your patience, and that you took the time and took pictures and all. You gave me peace of mind, and for that i am very thankful

If anything stops working correctly, FOR ANY REASON, they will fix or replace.
Really? What's wrong with my fingernails? I sure can't scratch it.
