FOV isnt' round crossfire II

My brand new 4-12 X-fire 2 has a non-round sight picture on lower powers. It's as though the AO bell is off kilter, and is obscuring maybe 5% of the FOV in that edge. When I go past 8x it disappears.
I am aware of their fantastic warranty, but I'm just curious if anyone else has experienced this and what it turned out to be?
Generally disappointed with this scope, as the parallax adjustment indicator ring fell off in the first day and I had to re-glue it. That being said, Occam's razor would suggest that both issues are related to the same thing; perhaps an unfortunate knock to the objective bell during packaging or shipping.

It sounds to me you got a bad one if the ring fell off.
If I were you, I would contact Vortex.
I just got the same scope earlier this week, I did get it sighted in but that is about far as I have got.
Curiously, I have a suspicion that the adjusting screw housing for elevation/ windage isn't quite in line with the reticle.
Since though I bought it for a 10-22 LR Ruger, I plan on letting it slide since I will rarely shoot past 40 yards with the rifle.
Ranging from approx 15 to 35 yards will be the range used most.
Hopefully it won't ever be an issue for my uses.

I wound up returning two X fire 2's due to problems with both a change in POI with a change in AO and
jamming windage and elevation knobs on both scopes. The Vortex warranty is top notch and they picked
up the shipping both ways. Sorry to hear about your problem and hope it gets sorted out. Wish I
could suggest a solution. Contact Vortex and they will work with you.

Looks like my NC-Star rings (what I had laying around as cheap "spares") aren't perfectly straight, and this forces you to adjust the scope near its limits. I was able to adjust the blur out of the FOV with the turrets.
Vortex Customer Service assures me it's the rings, and I'm inclined to believe them.
Cheap doesn't always save you money!
