    $40 to sort it and the return postage..personally that's not too expensive, But then again the scope is only 6 months old...so..

    Not too bad unless they try to sting you through customs.
    Have they sorted it parallaxed to the range you require or back to the way it was when it left the factory?

    Yep they've locked the parallax to 60yds so i'm hoping it should be sweet as a nut...mind you, after the good round at Ponty i might stick with the GML and the Bushnell for a while.

    You are very lucky then Chris, I know one guy who had to send his back for a similar problem & although he told them it was used for FT they reset the Parallax to the standard settings & used gallons of Loctite to secure the lenses.

    Hi,

    Well, first of all. Glad this event turn out okay.

    But I could also be in this corner and saying :" I told you so !". This re-parallaxing thing I have often warned people about is obviously still going on. Why on earth do people not contact the scope company first before even trying to do the things themself and hear what the company has to say first ? Why is it that people are still thinking they are smarter and better knowning than those companies who are producing these items ? I certainly donīt know it !

    I am myself a proud owner of a NightForce NXS model and this model works without a flaw on my airgun. Of course this scope has it limitations at airgun ranges but I know them and can easy live with them. Never and ever will I even be thinking to start to fiddle around with the scope myself to get a better performance out of it. In this case I know better !

    You Know nothing

    I re-parallaxed a Nikon Buckmaster from 50 to 10yds after being told by Nikon it could not be done. Lots of people on the BBs have done this with bags of guidance if you do a search.
