As previously and unhappily described in my prior Horton Red Dot scope post hereI discovered a couple issues with the red dot scope on my brand new Horton Explorer. I gave the company another chance and had them send me a replacement red dot scope. They asked me to send my defective one back first so I could wait a couple weeks for the replacement to show up to enjoy my new toy. I called back and $80 later they decided to do the right thing and send the replacement first. Great customer service when you pay for it. Anyway...

So the second brand new red dot scope arrives today. Guess what, it has the exact same flaw except this one is defective on the left/right adjustment and not the up/down adjustment. I was trying to sight it in and there are no adjustment clicks when I adjust the left/right.

And interestingly enough, the new scope has an "R" (for Right) on the adjustment screw while the original has "L" (for Left). Both arrows point in the same direction. Both adjust the point of contact the same direction. So which is it

Basically I now realize I bought a Made in China crossbow and am getting made in China quality. It doesn't matter how nice Marilyn is on the phone, the parts appear to be crap. The crossbow feels decent overall but now I'm worried the overall quality is poor and will start to reflect as I shoot it more than just my couple opportunities have allowed. I can't return it to Dick's because I've shot it once.

This is the kind of quality you get from junk tool suppliers like Harbor Freight. I wish I had bought a Parker. I learned too late they are made a few miles away from me.
