new scope is sticky

Try working it back and forth a bit. Maybe try contacting the Korth Group for info...

Do not loosen the screw in the power selector ring. Doing so will release the internal gas that keeps the scope fog free. Loosening the screw will also disconnect a pin that controls the internal operations, causing other problems that would require factory repairs. Do not lubricate the power selector ring; doing so is unnecessary.

Send it to Korth, they will fix it. I have seen this on a few VX3's lately and a few more VX2's.
The VX111's I have owned have all had stiff power selector rings. The tolerances are close to ensure reasonably consistent point of impact is retained throughout the power range . As previous poster said -- a rear ring that is torqued too tight can add to the resistance felt. B&L used to have a setup where you turned the entire ocular assembly to adjust power. While not as elegant as the Leupold - it was fast - gave more mechanical advantage and was easy to operate with gloves when hunting in the cold - as many of us do here in Canada.
Yes, a large percentage of the VXIIIs are very stiff to turn, although I haven't found any that bad that I've had to send any in for repair. I guess it all depends on what you can tolerate. The newer VX3 don't seem hardly as bad.
