UTG AO moving

[AKHI]

Can anyone verify that their AO on their UTG 4x32 AO hunter constantly moves?   Ive had this scope for about 2 months on my Gamo Outback Maxxim and the AO will move down from 15yrds after a single shot, about a yard a shot, the more I shoot the more it moves. I'm constantly adjusting back to 15yards. 
I  have a hammers 3-9x32 for my Walther Terrus and the AO stays in place, it's much harder to turn which I believe is a good thing.

It's been more than a month so I don't believe I can return it to Amazon.  UTGs page specifies they do not do returns or exchanges just repairs, and to contact seller to swap for a different product. If the AO is standard the way it is on mine (easily movable) I don't want them to repair it, send it back out and .I have the same problem.

Thank you, Drew

On another note I actually wanted the non ao version 4x32 utg, Amazon would not send it to my address, if I added the AO version they would ship it.  I'm on an island and I believe because nitrogen is in the description of the non ao scope they will not ship through air, and you know explaining this to Amazon will make no difference at all.   If I wanted to swap for the non ao version through amazon they wouldn't even ship it to me.

What would you guys do?

Thanks, drew

Bump.  Really just want to know if the ao moving under recoil is normal for the utg 4x32 ao?

Thanks

It's not "normal" for any scope.
IMO you have two choices. Either send it in and let them fix it, or use something like electrical tape to affix it in place (if you're fine with it @15yds).

I notice that my UTG 8-32x56 side focus with sidewheel bumps out of focus after 3-4-5 shots with my smooth-shooting HW97.  One or two shots doesn't do it (e.g. two shots at a ranged field target), but when i am shooting for groups or punching paper, I will have to refocus every few shots.  I assume that a side focus with sidewheel on it might be more susceptible to this.

Thanks,  I'll contact utg.  Hopefully they can solve the ao issue.  I hope it's defective and they fix or exchange it.

The vibrations from a springer's shot cycle can loosen anything.  I have one of the same UTG 8-32 as Mark.  The focus dial moves with every shot on my TX200, I never noticed it on my HW97.  Even smooth shooting springers sometime wreck scopes or mounts.

My UTG 3-9x40 AO hunter does the same AO movement to closer yardage after 10 or so shots.

I have a 3-9X32 AO Bug Buster on my Gamo Swarm and I noticed this also.  I though it was because of the flip up cover on the front of the AO.  I'll have to take it off next time and see what happens.  I'm interested in hearing what UTG has to say.
