One of my Hunting buddies also has a Encore, it seems as if he's forever messing with his zero on his scope. He also uses a non ML scope, it's been sent back to the manufacture twice already for repairs.
But again I have used Cheap Tasco's along with non ML Bushnells and I've never had a problem with them on a ML, some only cost $29.00 and I've put em through Heck.

I know about cheap/inexpensive scopes. My Tasco Bantam was all of $34.00 and it is still going and going.
Been checking out the Omega BDC and it is on the same line as the Leupold Ultimate Slam BDC. I may just put an inexpensive Bushnell Banner on it and use it as another back up rifle. Can never have too many back ups!!!
