"What's the problem?"
+1 Deadi
The problem is, what if this had happened on an expensive or long waited for hunt? Sure, he can have the problem repaired during the off season but he may have found the problem while it was very much needed.
$800. for a S.Scope is not chump change. My new Bushnell Spacemaster cost half that but the one before it lasted me 30 years with NO problems. Yes, could be better glass, no doubt, but 95% of the time, the limiting factor was the visibility or heat waves, not the glass.
I'm always glad for posts like this. The author of this thread asked a very legitimate question. "what's the problem?" IMO, was not a very good reply.
