Or one can just spend their $4k on a scope from a manufacturer that’ll have it turned around in a week if there’s a problem lol…
Seriously, I hate to keep kicking a dead horse here, but after-purchase-support is a big deal, and not everyone wants to (or can afford to) choose between buying another $4k scope for “just in case” or else having to wait weeks/months to straighten out an issue.
I really like this new March (and am considering getting one), but until there’s an option for service besides sending it back to Japan, I’m going to be holding off for now. JMHO/YMMV
