I got a Helos 2-12 a few weeks ago. Sounded like a piece of metal was rolling around inside of it and the elevation turret felt broken. I didn’t investigate it, I’m not a scope doctor. I just sent it back to Amazon.

Athlon probably would’ve fixed/replaced it, and I’ll probably try another down the road if I don’t discover something else in the same mag range that is MIL/MIL with locking turrets and a decent reticle.
