Nice options but poorly built - SightMark 3-9x42mm Triple Duty Tactical Rifle Scope

I bought the scope to mount on my tactical ruger 10/22 so that I can refine my shooting skills. Cheep trigger time!! I mounted the first scope under a nice set of lapped Leopold rings and base, after 36 rounds the reticle sprung loose and turned in the objective about 25 to 30 degrees. I sent it back and received a new one. I picked up the new scope they sent me and to my demise, the same thing only 5 to 10 degrees without even mounting or shooting. The other bad thing is that it does not get to 10x so on the fly mil dot shoot adjustments are impossible to do in your head unless you are a math wiz. Beautiful solid scope on the outside with really nice 1/4 moa turrents that have a solid adjustment. The scope is very clear but needs parallax adjustment. Sorry Sightmark needs some work.
Pros: great features and awesome price
Cons: Bad reticle
