I found a U-tube video where the guy in the video recounts exactly the same symptoms as I have been experiencing. His patterns even looked the same. He fixed it by putting on a simple 4x32 fixed magnification scope. Apparently the 3-9x40 Centerpoint scope was failing inside due to the recoil. I had such a simple scope lying around, a Centerpoint 4x32, so I put it on. I didn't even get the pellets on the target before the reticle started to rotate so it looks like an X instead of a +. Now that is not auspicious but I am game to buy a UTG 4x32 as I have gleaned the impression that they are better made. The model I am looking at comes with or without and adjustable objective. On the one hand the AO promises to eliminate parallax problems. On the other hand the whole reason I am doing this is to get away from as many moving parts as I can. The one without AO is set up to be parallax free at 35 yards. I can tell you right now that 25 yards will be a long shot for me so I will almost always be shooting that or less. How much am I likely to miss having AO?
