Reticle distortion problem

[Petar]

Hello everyone
I have leopold vx3i rifle scope and the lines of the reticle are like this
Can someone pls tell me what is this, and if its a problem

You can turn the eye piece on the back of the scope to focus the scope. Did you try that?

 

[5MilesBack]

It looks like you need to rotate the scope and mount it so the reticle is square to the rifle.

Please clarify what your problem is because the picture doesn't tell the whole story. Is it that the reticle is canted (are you sure the scope is mounted properly?) or that the reticle is fuzzy?

The reticle is fuzzy
The scope is mounted properly
Im concerned if the reticle is at its end and can break anytime

Set the reticle to your eye. Take a piece of plain white paper and hold it at the end of your scope. Close your eyes and get set up on the stock. Open your eye. If the reticle is fuzzy or out of focus then adjust. Keep doing this until its not fuzzy when you open your eyes. Remember not to look through your scope too long. Your eyes will adjust eventually. You want this to be how it looks first thing. Once you have the scope adjusted to your eye you shouldn't need to touch it.

I did all of that, and that is not the problem
Look at the left horizontal line, its not straight, its kind of bend, like almost broken
Im concerned if the scope is about to fail

Man, I just don’t see it. I see a normal reticle. Maybe the picture isn’t doing it justice. It sure is crooked on the rifle.

 

[Petar]

Just look at the line
It should be straight and cristal clear like the one at the bottom

 

[83cj-7]

Take it off, box it up send it back. If there is a issue Leupold will fix it, no questions asked.

I can clearly see what your referring to. Definitely send it in for service.

The thing is, im from macedonia, leopold dont have service or representative here
It will cost me more than the scope

Not much you can do then. Just shoot it until if/when it breaks.

Then I have to ask........where did you get the scope from? There have been a ton of fake Leupolds being sold on Ebay and the internet over the last few years.

My bet would be that is a counterfeit scope. The reticle just looks like poor QC.

Google what counterfeit Leupold scopes look like vs the real deal.

Sucks if you got ripped off.

Its original
I was in usa i bought it from amazon

Have you talked with Leupold directly? They do international sales/service.

That’s an electroform reticle which is metal as you might guess, and it’s not going to break or fail. While you may not like that it has that bend, there’s nothing that’s going to fail. Just shoot it and enjoy.
