To you guys $450 might not be splurging but to me it was. I did a great review on this scope. I went today to reattach my sunshade which I made sure the BFL was facing up when I painted it, and noticed it didn't line up anymore....well here is the reason...

I have fired maybe 150 rounds max through this fucking scope. Sadly I am going to compare this to my barska $40 scope I had, but that lasted 500+ rounds and a year, then the front lens fell out.

No it shouldn't do that. Basically it looks to me like there wasn't enough thread locker put on the objective lens cell. It's really not a big deal to fix. We'll just need to put some thread locker on the objective lens cell and that reset the parallax for you. We can have it done and sent back to you the same day we receive it.
