Vortex Golden Eagle parallax ?
- Thread starter willbas
- Start date
Might be Barrel heat, try a mirage shield or fold an old target over the barrel like a tent and see if there's a difference.
no happens on first shoot and I have mirage shield.
Interesting '
I've had this problem during longer strings of firing but not on first shots. That's an expensive scope I've seen several people using them without this comment or at least they are not saying anything. Might be time to make a call to Vortex. I hate scope problems hopefully you'll get it figured out or replaced.
Good luck

I'd contact Vortex & tell them & get it back into them for repair / services. - Shouldn't exhibit the symptoms you've explained.
looks like I will be calling tomorrow

I think that's a good decision Bill, - BTW I use to live on Campina Drive there in La Mesa back in the 80's when I was in the Navy.

I've never had that issue with the GE. My side focus on a Gen 1 Razor stopped working once when I moved it to a different gun. I had torqued the rings to 26 inch pounds thinking that wasn't to much. Vortex said 18inch lbs when I called them for repair info. After retorqueing it worked fine again. It did seem funny to me that so little difference made it not work. I've never encountered that before with other scopes.
does not happen with my Nightforce Comp. so not blood pressure problems

Is your parallax very easy to adjust? Sounds like the friction that keeps the parallax set has come loose. alternatively, is infinity on the knob still correspond to infinity? Either way, likely a loose setscrew in the works somewhere. Vortex should turn it around quickly.

Absolutely not normal. If you've ever fired another rifle with a different scope you already knew the answer to your question.
Call vortex. They'll have a new scope on your doorstep within a week. If you bought it locally, you can go to the local dealer and have them contact Vortex. Many times Vortex will credit the dealer the retail value to give you a new one off the shelf if they have it in stock. Asking us about an obvious issue with the scope is just wasting time. Call Vortex and spend this time on the range with a new properly functioning optic
