well, imma go out on a limb and give you my .02 on things and its not just scopes either. i lump pretty much all commercially sell-able goods here. we,as a public with all the power i.e. money,have just taken whatever and not forced product manufacturers to produce goods without defects that shoulda never left the factory . we have proven that we will still buy half assed products and pay even more than before. so, really what does that say about us as a whole?? we accept way more than we should imho. i mean i know nothing is perfect but when you pay north of a grand or some even twice that for a scope,staying with optics here, it should be spot on a not have any issues. i think we have cut the qc guy out and will let anything go and hope the consumer doesn't notice the issue.
