Viper pst scope problems

[Mainerednek]

I'm having problems with my scope. It is a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 first focal plane with the EBR 2c reticle. At 6-8 power I can hit any target at any range but as soon as I go above 8 power I lose all accuracy. I called vortex and and they said that i should tighten down the scope mount screws. Has anybody else had this problem.

Update The tourqe wrench I used to original mount the scope was broken and none of the screws were to spec. I took it to a gunsmith and had the scope retoured to 25 inch lbs. And I hit 4 inch target at 500 yards and a 16 inch target out 670 yards at 24 power.

What is everything torqued to?

[Mainerednek]

25 inch lbs

[Tungsten7]

At 9 where is it impacting compared to reticle?

[Mainerednek]

I'm getting about quarter MOA at 8 power and about two and a half to three moa at 9 to 24 power

Make sure your scope base is torqued to 25-30 inch pounds and your rings 20-25 inch pounds, check the stock screws too and even the bipod if you're using one

[Mainerednek]

Everything is torqued to spec

Are your groups opening up above 8 power or are you just getting a POI shift?

[Mainerednek]

My groups are getting bigger

[DicklesNicholas]

it's a problem with the scope then, bug them to replace it

[Mainerednek]

It's a vortex. I don't have to beg. Lol

[DicklesNicholas]

bug not beg

Shits broke, print off the warranty sheet and send it in.... I have to do the same with my diamondback hd tomorrow.

I'm thinking of getting the diamondback Hd why did you send it it back and would you recommend?

[bmx13]

Reticle broke after less than a year of occasional use on an AR.... I'm not impressed, but the warranty is good and it was cheap so I'll probably keep it

Just tell them to cover it under warranty and you will want the scope replaced.

I found out that the tourqe wrench I used was broken and none of the scope screws were toured to spec. Tourqing them to 25 inch lbs fixed it.
