General Comments

Stiction, if I spelled it correctly, is where the crosshairs do not move all the way when the turret is adjusted. My friend and I both bought the 890 and when it is sighted in, is very accurate. We can almost consistently hit targets the size of a US quarter at about 40 meters. The scope seemed to stick when changing for distance. After adjusting the turret, the impact groups would slowly migrate across the target area before final point. We had to lightly tap the turrets to help it out. I have switched to the simmons 44 mag and love it. Both my friend and I had the same problem with regards to the scope, but nobody else has ever complained about the scope so I remain confused.
