Ordered my first Vortex

[AZHTfreak]

I had a strange issue with not 1, not 2, but 3 of these scopes. Originally purchased April 2019 and mounted in a Larue LT204, rings torqued to 18 inlb. This bound up the parallax adjustment about 1/3 through it's rotation. Moved it to an Aero, then a GG&G w/ same torque, the problem stayed. Vortex CS was great (of course) and sent a 2nd DBT 6-24x50. Same damn problem in all three mounts. A DBT 4-16x44 did NOT have this issue torqued to 20 inlb in the same mounts. So, get a 3rd copy from Vortex and yup, same issue yet again, even at a ridiculous 12 inlb... At this point I was ready to ask them for a 4-16 replacement, but before I could, CS Rhonda (she rocks!) told me they were shipping a Strike Eagle 5-25x56 plus a 34mm mount at 0 cost to solve the problem. And it did! Torqued to 20 inlb back in the LT204 - works as it should. So, hats off to Vortex CS, they gave me a serious bump up for $0, but it's fairly troubling that 3 copies of the DBT had the same issue...
