bluetick,
save up some $ and get a Leupold. problem solved. or even find a used Leupy. Since they have a lifetime warranty, you can buy a used one and have it re-furbed if you think it needs it. i've bought used Leupold scopes before and other than ring marks, they were good as new and worked that way. you've checked the mounts and rings, and checked the torque on your action screws. so as several posters before me, cheap scopes are, well, cheaply made too. sorry for the hard news but with most optic products (binoculars, scopes, camera lens, etc) you get what you pay for. high quality is not inexpensive at first, but when a cheap scope fails on your once in a lifetime sheep hunt, or something like that, the cost of the quality Leupold won't seem so expensive compared to the cost of the failed hunt... just saying. feel free to disagree if you wish.
