I have a WalMart special Tasco 3-9X mounted on my Rem 700 in 270 that I bought about a year ago. I know, I should know better, but the small gun shop near my house did not have the particular scope I was looking for, and being a fellow gun nut I wanted to shoot it as soon as possible. The thing is, this scope has endured several calling/carrying sessions and about 100 rounds of 130 gr recoil, and is still zeroed with minimal change! I was recently doing some 100yd shooting on the "back 40", when, while tipping the gun to reload the magazine, I noticed that a sliding noise came from the eyepiece end of the scope. Sounded like something sliding a short distance inside, back and forth when the scope was tilted. Now here's the craziest part: The scope is still zeroed, and the adjustable zoom still works!! What is going on here? Can anyone tell me what is wrong? I think i already know the answer to this question (get a quality scope), but I'd hate to get rid of it after it has served me so unexpectedly well.
Thanks,
Adam
