Problems with my scope....

   Hi all,
I'm having problems with my Hawke Vantage SF IR 4-16 x 50 scope. 
In summary:

It won’t hold zero -
the groups loosen and creep right and up (usually)

         When trying to
re-adjust left and down I get the following results: 

o   Clicks Left sometimes work, sometimes nothing happens

o   Clicks Down sometimes work, sometimes nothing happens

o   Clicks for windage often affect elevation

o   Clicks for elevation often affect windage

This
leaves me “chasing” the bullseye and when I do finally get it back on bull, the zero-ed
groups end up moving again after a few more shots next day!
·        
The Parallex adjustment
SF knob is extremely stiff and has not loosened up after months of use

·        
Over 75 yds, the focus
is very poor and cannot be adjusted further.
Has anyone else experienced such problems with the Hawke Vantage models? I'd be keen to hear from you if you have.... thanks!
