Several months ago, I was putting in an order to Natchez and picked up a TruGlo 8-32X44mm scope on a whim.
I know, it’s a cheap scope ($70), but I thought I might have a use for it someday.
I just completed a custom Remington 700 in .280 and installed the TruGlo for load testing. On the 51st shot, the thing went out of focus. I cranked the front focus adjustment and got it looking pretty good, but the 52nd shot killed the thing. Not possible to focus at any power setting at any range, and the image is distorted in such a way that I think one of the lenses is crooked.
Natchez will replace it at no charge if I ship it back (that’s fair), but that model was a limited run, so I’ll get a 6-24X44mm instead. In the meantime, I ordered a Nikon 4.5-14X40mm SF scope which ought to stand up to the mild recoil of a .280.
TruGlo is NOT recommended!
