Mine did too for a while. Then a couple of years ago, while looking through my SwaroA at a 190" muley buck, I shot the buck in the guts....dead rest at 140 yds. I tracked it about 250 yds, shot again and hit it high shoulder from 50 yards. I finally killed it dead at 5 yards with shot #3. I took the rifle and a target that afternoon and it was hitting 13"high/right at 100yds. I adjusted it, shot it, and it was back at 3" high at 100. Shot again, it was 9 1/2" low left. That would leave a sour taste in anyone's mouth I'd think, especially when this is at stake.........

Every time I turn the key on my Tundra and it roars to life, I've bolstered my confidence in it starting when I turn the key.

That's the case for many of us. How that jibes with the " common knowledge" that they are fragile scopes is beyond my ken to decide. <img src=
