I bought one from Pyramyd and mounted it and when I back out the eyepiece to adjust the eyepiece for my vision, the whole eyepiece becomes very unstable. What I mean is that you can push and pull it out several mm and you can wobble it left, right, up and down and doing so makes the reticle move.
I sent it back and they sent me another and it is exactly the same. If the eyepiece is screwed all the way in or all the way out it doesn't then move, but anywhere in the middle it is wobbly. I can lock the rifle in a rest and look through the scope and wobble the eyepiece and the reticle moves way off target. Is this normal?
If you have one can you please check and see if yours does this and if so has your scope stayed zeroed? I don't see how it could, but I really like the features of this scope but it doesn't seem it will stay zeroed like this. I can't just leave it screwed in all the way or it won't be in focus.
Please help if you have one of these! Thanks!

Mine has a slight wobble when adjusting the eye focus. When it is set, though, the scope allows me to shoot my rifle very accurately.

Thanks for the reply. What concerns me is opening and closing the flip up lens cover on the eyepiece moves the thing around a good bit.
Do you use the cover? Does your POI remain zeroed from session to session?

Well the second one is going back. I simply feel the quality on this scope is severely lacking. Ordered a hawke 3-12x44 varmint with side focus. Hopefully that one will be better built. Spoke to Rick Eustler who suggested the hawke line of scopes was of better quality.
