| I just got a new 3-15x44 PST Gen 2 the other day. I noticed the power ring seems to be binding between 4 and 6 power. It is especially tight right around 5 power. The rest of it feels pretty good, and isn't overly tight. I worked the power ring back and forth for several minutes, but it's still pretty stiff in that one spot. I also noticed the windage turret seems to have a lot of backlash. The clicks feel fine, but the turret can be moved back and forth a fair amount without actually clicking it over. I ensured that the set screws are tight. Elevation turret feels great with no noticeable play. I compared it to the windage knobs on both my 2-10x32 PST 2's, and they don't feel like this. I was hoping to use it at a match next week, but now I'm thinking it needs to go back. Appreciate any insight. |

| Also curious, though Vortex will make it right. I had two Viper PST scopes with issues. Both times they replaced them. The third got sold immediately, just didn't feel I could trust them. That was a number of years ago, though so hopefully fewer issues nowadays. |
