OK guys, long story short.
Went out today to pick up a cheap 9mm plinker and came home with a 308..... so much for cheap plinking.
My question is not about whether this japanese scope (70's or 80's) is a decent scope but instead about the reticle itself.
I have owned and used a ton of different scopes but I haven't seen a reticle like this before.
I am trying to determine if this scope croaked from being punished by sitting atop a 280 or whether the reticle should be like this.
This rifle was left to me but I've never shot it so the reticle was like this before I ever received it. There is no signs of external impact- the scope looks like new.
There is no reticle movement that I can see and it appears to stay in place.
I don't want to waste money purchasing a mount for a 1" tube unless somebody has seen this reticle before and can confirm it isn't a problem with the scope.
Thanks.
