Vortex Crossfire II marks inside the lens?

[AgentFoxMulder]

My vortex scope suddenly has some some sort of marks in my view. Ive cleaned the front back back lens, and its not from that. Can it be from inside? What on earth came off inside the lens to do that? Would i be able to access that area without causing damage?

Do you think this could be warranty acceptable? Its more cosmetic instead of functionality, but damn is it ever annoying....

Just curious for your thoughts!

Small pieces of rubber or plastic from the internal threads

Vortex will warranty that scope, they cover everything except loss and theft. Call them up, they will tell you what to do.

Send it back, isn't that the whole point of buying Vortex is the VIP warranty?

Marks awn the wall?

Definitely warranty worthy. Vortex will replace it as long as you don’t mind paying the shipping there.

On a side note what you are seeing is pretty common. I seen it on a Leupold once.
