All that said, see what Hawke say. I would mail them again and let them know all that you now know from those on here and add photos if possible, my experience of their after sales service is that they are second to none.

Edit: BTW, which model did you get?
Sidewinder 30 4-16x50. It definitely needs re gassing, the turrets were totally out. Hopefully they will sort it at a decent price
