Of course they’ll survive. Aside from places like this, their scopes are still regarded as one of the best, and nowadays one of the few more or less built here. Their optical performance is good, with very usable ER and eyebox, and above the starter level, good resolution and brightness. Most ordinary users never detect the weaknesses in their mechanics.
I’d love to see them correct the flaws, but that doesn’t seem to be a priority, and likely won’t be as long as they keep selling as they do.
