Its covered with paintball splatter and should be cleaned with a rag and glass cleaner.

i assume youre smart enough to try focusing?

if it took a hit, or near hit, or a hard dive, a lens probably jiggled loose. if thats the case, youre gonna have to get a new sight. i suggest a red dot. they are better. face it.

oh i admit red dots are more functional, akways have i was probably gona buy one anyways. my scope is intimidating and looks cool to all the walkons. people have full milsim gns at my field but all the walkons flock to me to hold my gun.

i have never taken a hit to my scope. seems the scope unscrewed itself a bit. for some reason whenever the front lens of the scope is unscrewed or screwed back in. so in 15 mins ill check it and see. my crosshairs are broken though so well see what happens

face it. its time to retire the scope. its not even a function thing anymore! the cross hairs are broked, the front lens seems to spontaneously unscrew, it wont focus, etc. its time for a new something...

actually this all happened today

i fixed the crosshairs i guess when i was opening up the scope a hair broke off but i used a knife to reposition and its fine. i didnt think the crosshairs on a scope for a rifle would be so weak

the unscrewing was probaly done by me by accident or stupid family member and it was fog inside lens that caused problem in first place.

ill post again in 15 mins to tell if it worked or not.

i would have bought a red dot last week but my paintball store for some reason doubled the price of theirs from $45-$70

Ive been here 2 years exactly... He'll have me covered in a few weeks... But anyway why didn't you post this in New Player Forum or Gun Maintenace.... You always bag on people posting in wrong forums... But anyway... Adjust your focus or something... That controls the blur unless you have no focus adjust... Maybe its fogged up who knows.... Im looking forward to see your gun actually... With teh Apex and all... Get some pics up...
