    Thinking of clapped out vans with pop culture pictures hiding their rust holes and a 5lt bucket as a toilet being rented to back packers (what could possibly go wrong?) to brightly coloured push bikes that need to be stored with zinc and shouldn’t be taken out of the garage if relative humidity is above 0%, there has always been a market of undiscerning buyers looking to spend less to loose more, correspondingly there have been goods and services made available.
    With the relatively recent rise in popularity of hunting in a world where most people get their knowledge online, it was always going to be inevitable that such retail practices would surface in the shooting world.

    And when production cost per unit is 2/5 of 5/8 of very little, having a business model that doesn’t engage in QC is no problem for the seller, they can just drip feed the customer three for the price of one.
    Poor old mate that hasn’t done the research on scope rings is the one that wears it in the pocket when that first packet of over inflated .270 dances all over the target at first attempt to sight in and then they have to go back and buy another packet off the people that sold them a package of knockoffs with a Tikka somewhere in the middle of it for credibility.
