It's most likely just some loose anodizing from the inside of the scope tube. I have had that happen to several scopes over the years. Bang the scope on a phone book a few times. Often it will come off the lenses and stick to the tube.

It could also be tiny machining burrs from sharp corners of parts that were removed when components were threaded or fitted together. Despite how weird it sounds, quite often, slamming the scope against a surface that doesn't mar the scope finish (like a phone book), as suggested above will knock the tiny objects off the internal lens surface and take it out of the focal plane so it won't be visible anymore. If it doesn't go away, then I would send it back to NF, but different people have different tolerance levels for slight imperfections.

It's broken, I'll give you $100.00 for it.
Send it back to NF and let them clean it out, that would drive me crazy.

Talked to NF They want it back ASAP. They sent me a 2 day air voucher. It is debris.

Fotis, just curious, what's the distance of the shots? And what'a the size of the target?
Thanks

Good deal, Fotis. I'm just OCD enough that I would've sent it back to NF too, even if I could remove the debris from view with the "bang it on a phonebook" trick. I'd always be wondering where these little pieces of debris wandered to inside the scope, even if I never saw it again, and that would bug me from that point on.

I have to say, "that's damn impressive" Both... the shooting and the rifle.
