I have eight claw hammers and four ballpein hammers in my garage..I have ne need for an oversized and overpriced heavy scope...therefore this issue doesnt effect me...if you dont like the price,dont buy it...if enough folks dont buy it,it will no longer be offered forsale at all.
if you seriously want to fix the issue...price it out from overseas then go to retailer here in NZ and ask them to match your total cost,if the ywill you buy local,if not,you buy it overseas and hope it never fails.
