Another dead scope - my Burris FFII

Well Darn...I've had a Burris FFII on my Ruger 260 Rem for about 7 months and I've said on this forum that I liked it quite a bit. I think that it has died. Just this week I got a pound of Reloader 17 to try out, and I couldn't get a decent group with any powder load. I was just spraying them all over in a completely random fashion. I checked all screws, mounts, etc. and found nothing wrong. Not a bore fouling problem either. Well, this afternoon I decided to go pig hunting, so I took 2 rounds of my favorite load (4064) and thought I'd just check my zero. Bang! And the first hole is 6 inches right of the target. Hmmm. That's not possible. Chamber the second round. Bang! And this one is 6 inches left of the target. Distance between holes is just about a foot. OK, well we've all had bad days at the range, but that was a load that used to shoot into less than 3/4 inch time and again. My load data book says "this load shot into about 1/2 inch, so this is the go-to hunting load". Wasn't that long ago I had a Nikon fail me. Here I go again, but this time with Burris customer service. I hope these people are not too tough to deal with. If they are, I swear to all that's holy that I'll smash it flat with a sledgehammer and ship it back to them. And buy another Leupold VX3. I'm in Full Curmudgeon mode right now. These people had better be nice to me. Grump grump grump!
