I purchased this last fall to mount on my wife's Ruger Hawkeye Compact in 7mm-08. I mounted it to spec with Ruger rings. Yesterday my wife decided that she does not like the scope. She thinks it is too big and heavy for her compact rifle... says it messes up the balance and carrying feel. OK, whatever. So yesterday, I removed the scope, but noticed the rings left ring marks on the tube. I should have known better than to use those rings. Anyway, it is only cosmetic damage and does not affect the usage at all. For this reason, I have discounted the price down to $550 shipped. I can text pics to anybody interested. Sorry for the long winded explanation.
