Bad glass in this scope. the scope i got is unusable for precision shooting - Simmons .44 MAG Side Parallax Adjustment Rifle Scope, Matte, MilDot Reticle 447703

I got this scope back in March of 2018 and it's been setting in the box since I got it. I did a cursory inspection when it arrived and it appeared OK. When I got ready to mount it I noticed a very disturbing problem. The glass in the scope was not ground properly. It's not noticeable at low power settings, but when turned up to the 18 to 24 power range it becomes VERY bad when attempting to focus on a small object like a target bullseye. Looking at a 1 inch dot at 100 yards, if you use the side focus on the dot, other areas inside the field of view are out of focus. If you focus on writing on the target just inside the field of view, then the crosshairs are out of focus on the bullseye. This scope is unusable for precision shooting and just barely usable for any target shooting.
