Damn, not good news. I have a couple of higher end Weavers including one on my benchrest rifle. If we can't rely on quality build backed up by a decent warranty, what else is there? The debates about this rage on the forums.
Maybe optics have become like electronics, you just have to figure on a limited useful life. Might be best to buy cheap scopes and plan on throwing them away when they go TU. And, no, not everybody can afford Nightforce, so spending big bucks isn't a solution for everybody.
I had the same thing happen with an expensive Pentax camera. So solly, no warranty support anymore.
