Hey Vert!
My new Nikon P-223 scope for my AR-15 broke!
![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Both turrets literally fell apart in my hands, i.e., springs, caps and tiny washers flying.
![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I had the fixed 3X one. So anyway, I took it back and they refunded my money.

Then I bought a new and more expensive Nikon scope.

Got it home and noticed there were air bubbles inside the glass.
![Mad :mad: :mad:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I took that one back to the same store, the manager agreed it was defective, and I got another refund.
Anyway, on the drive home from the store today I was totally bummed out.

So I went by another outlet and bought a Leupold Mark AR 3x9x40.

I hope this holds up and lasts more than a week. However, I did keep the Nikon P-Series scope mount! It appears to be pretty sturdy.
