Ridge Rooster - sorry I couldn't reply to the e mail they sent me. There are no scratches, adjustments are fine. This was my first red dot sight and I didn't like the way I had to adjust my POA at very close distances and far distances. I sent the sight in a month ago to Burris to have the sight checked out and they said it was operating correctly. I hunt in a lot of thick brush and I didn't want to drag the sight through that, and I also didn't like the small power switch. I'm going back to open sights, less to worry about. T
