took my new bushnell scope i got for xmas out today to sight it in on my 44 mag. after the first 11 shots of missing i finally got a hit on the target and ajusted the setting over and missed again! i couldnt belive how bad it was off finally i was able to make a small patch of hits in the lowerright corner and finally had one just to the left of the center. i fired again and missed compleatly!!!! i knew it wasnt off something had to be wrong so i loaded the 31st bullet in and aimed and fired. i looked through the scope to see everything was blury! i looked at the back and the lens was sitting inside sideways!!!! i am so angry i cant belive the scope just broke like that. im guessing it was loose the whole time and kept shifting around and that why it was so off. well i wasted about a whole box of shells and my shoulder feels like a bouncer was punching it. very very dissapointed

The bushnells made in korea & china are the ones that usually fail. The jap bushnells are made at a high end optical plant (elite line) and are much better scopes.
Hope Bushnell takes of ya spike.
Be sure to report back!

here's one thing imo the elite line is what you want. they are the b&l scope div. the 2 i have are on light re-coil guns and work great for me. mine are very clear. when recoil is on the crisp side i'ed watch what you use. gotta get up in the 400.00 mark hate to say it. there is a reason a scope goes for more money, the glass ,seal, and the way the cross hairs are attached. if the scope base holes are alittle ouy of line you can also run out of adjustment too. this is what i've found over the years anyway. good luck...later
