    @Fisherman how do you like the Burris? Love mine but I can tell you have had the same issue, the centre caps on the turrets are made of fucking tinfoil. Even a plastic blade garked mine up. Bit of a shame considering how well the rest of it seems constructed.

    I touch it up with a black marker pen.
    Restraint is the better part of dignity. Don't justify getting even. Do not do unto others as they do unto you if it will cause harm.
