    The value of the scope is about the same as my insurance excess so that's not viable.

    This bag was only months old when this happened, had only been used maybe 20 times. If I bought a brand new car and it ran itself out of oil in 20 trips I would absolutely be expecting the manufacturer to replace it.

    Yea I see iv just being dealing with a warranty claim and in my circumstance it would have being way easier if they were damaged for insurance sake but sadly not software issue so back and forth with the manufacturer and the issue isn’t continuously happening so chances are when their doing the testing their working just darn painful
