Wonky Zulus

[User00052]

A while back I had an issue with a Gen 1 alpex where the image into scope appeared canted and I posted a thread about it

Canted image, hikmicro alpex

It was suggested that either my house had serious subsidence or there was an issue with the alignment of the camera in the scope.

Duly returned to Optics warehouse they confirmed issue and sent a new one.

Roll forward 18 odd months and I've got myself a new Zulus delivered yesterday and appear to have a similar issue.

Level scope, level reticle, wonky image. These images were taken with the scope unmounted rested on a level surface with the the screen and reticle level. Now the house is getting on a bit, but it's not that wonky.

Ian at Blackwoods has asked me to email DNT and currently awaiting reply.

Anyone else seen anything like this? Same issue? Am I going mad? Or is it time I called a surveyor for the house.?

I don't know. I will now have to check mine

Just tried mine. Without the base mount fitted I put it on a level surface and it produced the same image as you show
However just placed on the surface the scope is not level as the laser unit rests on the surface. Holding the scope so that only the narrow mounting rail it flat on the surface produces a level image

So we have a resolution ?

You have to attach the mount and fit it to the rifle with quality mounts before you can make judgements on reticle alignment.

The issue was apparent both mounted to the rifle using the supplied DNT mount and when checked off the rifle. The inbuilt gyro was also used to ensure the scope was level.
The issue is that when the scope is I'm fact level the image is canted.
I have spoken to DNT and they have run through a number of possible issues and asked me to send in to them for further testing, which I have done.

That's not me posting there, no resolution that's @Jelen who was concerned he might have the same issue after seeing my post but doesn't.
Issue is ongoing and have sent to DNT as they have requested.
