I've never had any desire to own a Muellerscope and I certainly don't now after reading that. Too bad they didn't handle this in a better manner. I have a Bushnell Elite 3200 that has light ring compression marks. It's the only scope I've ever owned that's exhibited this. It still functions fine, however, but it gives me reason to believe that the tube is either notthick enoughor not made out of the same quality metal thatothers are.

I've got a Zeiss Conquest on one of my Sakos that's mounted in Conetrol mounts. These babies were tight as heck even before I tightened the screws down and they hold like a vise, so I was afraid what the scope tube might look like if I ever dismounted it. Well, not too long ago I needed to take the scope off the rifle and to my amazement there was not a single hint of a ring mark on this scope. Just another reason I like these Conquests so much.
