"Swarovski was just as stubborn about the same problem, so I finally took the caps off one test scope they sent, and left the scope in a sink full of warm water long enough that the scope partly filled with water, then put the caps back on and sent the scope back A year or so later they introduced the first totally sealed Swarovski scopes. I don't know if that was a coincidence or not."
LMAO, coincidence? Highly not! Good for you. They got your hint, future scope owners benefited.
It sounds like the playing field has been leveled in recent years in reliable designs.
Never had any bad experience, just great w/3200/4200 and even 3k/4k series, yet I do wonder when reading others sent scopes back for service, and complained it was lacking.
Can you speak to the Bushnell service department? Good/bad?
Thanks much for the clarification.
