    You can see it against a clear background like the Sky. I just had Stug over today and showed him the 260AI it is on and didn't notice until putting the gun back in the safe now. Fark!

    Send the picture to the NZ agent, and see how good they are...
    If they are a shit agent, then send a pic back to Nightforce USA...
    Hope one of them has good service, be it you bought it new or second hand.

    You see lots of weird shit looking down scopes on weird angles.
    The Swarovski X5 looks like a bolt rubbish dump, a premier that works fine as has small bit of rubbish that appears on the lens now and then.
    If it doesn't affect function or clarity go hunting.

    No its not right - this is looking straight down it... yes worse off center but looks like I've walked into a spider's web. Can see it against backgrounds too.

    Wow that looks really screwy. Certainly looked fine earlier. Is it something inside the lens or a growth on it?
