Didn't you say that the focuser was punch through the end of the case and was a bit rough? Post Extras:       Super08 sage Reged: 05/18/12 Loc: Great White North Re: Is this normal?

A few of the thumb screws were bent and it needed a little TLC to fix it up which I did. I checked the optics and they were great so I was willing to keep it but wanted a new case. They asked for the complete scope with all accessories to be returned. Post Extras:       mblack Throw me a bone here Reged: 10/31/05 Loc: Florida Re: Is this normal?

I love spending other peoples money ; ) Post Extras:       Super08 sage Reged: 05/18/12 Loc: Great White North Re: Is this normal?
