Likelyhood of cheaper scope being broken out of the box

[McCraggen]

So I got myself a cheap vortex crossfire 2-7 for a little badger single shot, seemed like an appropriate choice for a cheap rifle.

But I cant get this rifle to group, how often are cheap scopes fluffed right out of the box?

but since kind of a no frills , no bells or whistles scope , not alot really to go wrong unless you adjusted it past its intended purpose , or knocked a lens loose or something ??

either way still should be covered warranty-wise

Was very mild mannered to it, maybe it was a loose mount or some such business?

If you have another scope or could borrow one to test, that's about the best way to determine if a scope is bad if the box test doesn't work. I've seen several scopes under $50 be bad right out of the box but not $100 plus ones.

3 of 5 vortex viper PST's I bought were busted right out of the box so with the cheaper models I'd expect even worse luck.

I ceased buying Vortex.
