Back from the range and I think I have a scope problem.
I have a 10/22 with a bull barrel that well group on a dime at 100 yards without a problem that I plan on shooting in competition. I just got a new in box BSA 6-24x50 scope and weaver rings. When I put the scope on the rifle before I even tightened it down I looked down it and there was a black line that looked like a hire on the left side of the scope, I didn’t think anything of it thinking it was just something on the scope. when I got to the range I cleaned the lens but there was nothing on it and the line was still there I sighted it in and it would not hold zero. So I got my tools and found some of the screws had loosened up so I tightened them down and then it would hold zero but is this something I should worry about like a crack in the lens or something, should I take it back and get a new one this is the first time I put a scope so I don’t know much about them.
Thanks for any help you can give.
