Well I was hoping for better results since i recently bought one, with that said I'll use it for practice on the range.

I'm still waiting and hoping it will at least retain zero.

Do you think the capped turret sfp version will hold up better? Seems like the issues started when turret was bent- would that be a fair assessment?

I have no idea.

Yes, it does seem to be the case.

Has the scope continued to hold zero mounted on another rifle?

@Formidilosus , why did you only tighten the rings caps on this scope to 20 in/lbs after the first drop shift instead of going to 25-28 in/lbs like you did with the sightron s6 scopes?

Because it was clear that it wasn’t the cause of the shift, and I was unsure about what the tube could handle. It is a Philippine made scope, and historically they have had thinner tubes. The loss of zero with this scope was due (at least primarily) to the turrets getting bent.
