I'll let you know what happened to a friend of mine who a lot of people know out there for making match bullets, he bought a GE and the thing was terrible. It wasn't sharp, clear, bright and anything else, just a turd. He called Vortex and told him the situation, and they suggested one thing, leave the scope sitting in direct sunlight on a warm sunny day for about 5 hours. He did that, and after that, the scope has been great. Something about the argon gas not being distributed evenly through the scope when it was assembled. Well whatever, it did the trick.
That sounds a lot like the placebo effect to me.
