vortex scope

I bought a new Vortex crossfire II 6 - 18 x 44 with AO
The elevation and windage turrets seem kind of mushy, like no definite click when making an adjustment. Also it is extremely difficult to adjust the OA and get a sharp clear sight view. It seems to always be just a bit blurry. Trying to decide if I should send it back to Vortex or just return it for a refund and buy a Nikon.

Something is wrong with it. Send it in and get a replacement. Or have the store/vendor you bought it from give you a new one while they send in that one.

If it was just the mushy turrets I could live with it but it will not focus clear at any power or range.
