Hello,

So I got this BSA Classic scope (4x, about $20 at Wal-mart) and put it on Marlin Model 60. At the range I zeroed it in and was at 100 yards already when suddenly (I didn't drop the gun, didn't hit the scope, nothing, just reload (tubular magazine) the scope goes totally out of alignment, I can't even hit the white and have to start at 25 yards again. Which was next day because it was late already. So, next day exactly the same thing happened - everything is fine, I'm dialing it in, 25 yards -50-100 - boom! I reload and it's totally out of whack again.

After the first day I made sure it's secured on the gun real good and that nothing shakes inside.

So, should I assume that it's just a cheap scope problem, take it back to the store and get something better?

Thanks!
