Has anyone ever experienced something like this?
If so, do you know what caused it? :dunno:
First time I have ever seen something like this with any brand of scope and it has me scratching my head....

IDK are you talking to the hair looking thing around the reticle?

it appears to be mounted crooked :chuckle:

It is not mounted at all, it is currently in a box on its way back to Nikon to see if they really do honor their "Lifetime warranty," but regardless, I was curious if anyone else had seen something like the fraying crosshair, hair, fiber or whatever it is and maybe knew what caused it.
Only thing I could really figure was something getting inside the scope during assembly?

It really amazes me how good scope companies have been with their clean rooms and assembly. That is such a fine amount of nothing that shows up as something awful. Final inspection should have caught it for sure unless it was floating around in the scope before finally finding a home where it did during shipping. Nikon should make it right without question!

Never seen it on a Nikon scope, but would see them occasionally back some years ago when Weaver and Redfield were popular. OK maybe that was more than some years ago :chuckle:

Feel sorry for that guy, one, he is a nut case for sticking it down the tube, two, it must small to get it in there. :chuckle:

Nikon, pubes and a hAZ mat suit.....where could this thread go next? :chuckle:
LOL
This sounds like a porn shoot gone wrong. Maybe that scope was used as a prop. :tup:
All joking aside, Nikon has always been known for great CS so I'm sure they will take care of it for you. I'm curious to know what the hell that is but then again, maybe I don't want to know. ;)
