Message: <blockquote data-quote="curvecrazy" data-source="post: 2974466" data-attributes="member: 122358">I doubt most users would know a good one from a defective one.  And I expect that holds for most optics scopes included.  Add into that the users own eyesight limitations albeit due to faulty prescription contacts or glasses in many cases or uncorrected natural eyesight and I would imagine there's a lot of optics out there that aren't stellar and ship/slip through the cracks.  :smoke:Oh, btw...   Nikon?  Logical?  Mmmmmmmmm????????????  Of course, based on the above statement being at least to some degree true, they probably consider letting the situation slide to be a logical approach.  I don't know how many are affected but say only 10% or 25% come back to Nikon service for the problem they would be way ahead of doing 100% if they are OK with that from a corporate standpoint.  I did see a TV add for Nikon Glasses lenses so maybe thats where their focus will be ongoing and where they expect to make their money???I wouldn't mind looking through a good M7 to compare to my sightron because someone stated the M7 was much better.  I have to say the sightrons strike me as a bargain for the price, the weight, and the performance.  It [SBS] would definitely serve the purpose for most users. I suppose like anything else, if you don't have something better to compare it to you would be perfectly happy and content esp. at the price point.  And then you would become like so many members here who find themselves disappointed with optics because their this or that is just slightly better say resolution etc.. Of course you know the discontent sewn comparing one thing to another.  The average Joe given one of the items compared sent out to use it would likely be totally happy.  Just saying.   <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
