Think about like this- most rifles get fired maybe a few hundred times. So yes. They should hold up forever to that. Most rifles that have been “hunted hard for 30 years” have been out of the safe and used for like 210days. Not all that taxing for. Then there’s a handful of rifles out there that need a barrel every year- and maybe they might need a scope too. And that’s probably reasonably acceptable. I’d be fine with having to send a scope in for service every 5000-10000 rounds for instance. Pay your $50, have all wearable parts and seals replaced along with anything damaged or on the verge of failure, repurge and send it home. I would be way happier with that than a new free scope every year when the old one craps out unexpectedly “for no reason”
It’s way easier to break almost anything than it is to keep it serviceable.
