Hello Guys,
I just recently purchased a Nikon Monarch with a side focus knob.
When I received it I turned the side focus a couple of 1/4 turns without first lifting the knob. I heard this crunching/grinding sound. I realized what I have done (needed to lift the knob first), so I lifted the knob and tested the side focus and all seems well. The parallax indicators stop at the 50 yard and infinity indicators so the adjustments seem fine.
However, did I just do damage to my scope? My stomach is turning.
Thanks in advance!
