    Tight magnification adjustment

    Hello,

    I searched the site for awhile and couldn't find a relevant post. I got a new scope for my bolt rifle and it seems like its a *major* pain to adjust the magnification on the scope. Seems like I need to use a wrench to do it, but I feel like I shouldn't have to. Is this normal for new scopes? Is there something I can do to loosen it or make it easier?

    Thanks,

    David

      What type of scope?

      Is it quality or is it under $200

          And even cheap scopes should be fairly easy to turn the magnification ring

                          Ok cool. I was just wondering if it was something obvious. Maybe the forward or rear reticle adjustments locking it up or something.

                          Thanks.
