Had a friend work as a manager in a large sporting goods chain store. He said of all the scopes his store warrantied there was not a single one that had anything wrong with it. .
Not sure what you're saying here, are you talking about scopes that people brought in for repar or warranty issues?
It's hard to believe that not a single scope of any brand ever malfunctioned, or that the manager of the store would be in a position to make that kind of determination. Did he take the scopes apart and do the warranty work himself?
