I have an 18 month old Hawke Sidewinder Tactical 6.5-20x42 with the 20x 1/2 mil dot reticle that has just developed a new problem. Everything works fine but the etched glass reticle appears to be spotting up or delaminating into black specs and very small bubbles around the periphery. The center is still clear. The small bubbles seem to follow the etched lines of the boxes in some cases. Some specks are just in the reticle randomly or so it appears.  I have three of these scopes and the other two are fine. The scope has always been kept indoors and actually hasnt been used much. Any ideas? I will contact Hawke with the warranty but it is definitely weird.
