You know what I just realized? The picture of the scope damage from Mueller optics is either not my scope or the scope is not sitting as it would be mounted on a rifle.
Look at the pictures I posted on page 1 and you will see the battery cover and adjustment for the illuminated reticle on the rear occular. The same battery holder cannot be seen in Mueller's picture.
So for those of you that say the damage is consistent with vertical rings maybe you should reconsider since if that is in fact my scope the damge would be on the side or bottom of the scope. If it is the side that would be consistent with standard horizontal rings, and if it is on the bottom that is where the metal sandwich is on the American Defense mount that would prevent overtightening.
