So I finally went to the range today to check the scope out at different magnifications. The fired 3 at 3x and bullseye on each one. Dialed scope to 6x and first 2 dropped 2 to 2.5 inches. The third shot hit just lower than my 3x groups. So I then went to 9x and the shots were way low but all shots were touching. Maybe a 7 to 8 inch drop on the 9x magnification. Nikon emailed me back and they want to repair or replace it.
