Can't win...

The other night I looked through the Mueller while walking through a several rooms. When I walked into a fairly dim room the haze I was talking about washed over everything. It does this even at the lower settings. It did this at a point when you would really want the red dot feature the most. It was dim enough that irons and the scope reticle would be worthless and the dot would be ideal. While you could see the dot just fine as well as make out objects through the lens the lens was covered with a red haze that was worse in some areas. best I can explain is the lens looked "dirty" inside. Like there was a film covering the lens that was retracting the red light. It only got worse when the illumination got brighter.

Also... I just mounted my Vortex Viper and noticed the reticke was skewed. The vertical line is fine but apparently the horizontal line gets higher from left to right. I couldn't really tell at first but once I tried to center the scope it became fairly obvious. I also lined the reticle bars up with several 90 degree angles and it was more than obvious this scope has a problem I guess I could live with it but I'm not going to.


I guess I get to test the warranty with both of these companies next week. This has me a bit perturbed because I was really thinking about finally getting to the range tomorrow.

It really bugs me that companies would pawn this stuff off on consumers and even more so that (if they knew) people would sell this stuff to others. In going to stop here before I start ranting...
