    Good scope, poor to no local back-up. The problem is not with the scope.

    Have you had personal experience with the “poor to no local backup” or known someone who has?

    Yes. Do you know who the local agents are?

    Scroll down to South Africa.

    https://www.bushnell.com/international-distributors/

    I think this is their site.

    Read the warranty page in detail, it starts getting very vague as soon as your location is not North America, not saying it doesn't exist, just vague.

    A friend of mine has a decent Bushnell on his 30-06, very good scope.

    I have a cheap one on a pellet gun, a very lousy scope.

    With a new scope that turns out to be faulty, they might just replace it. After a few years, when something goes wrong, they will tell you that you can have a 15 - 25% discount on any new Bushnell/Tasco scope. The best part is, that this discount is given by the retailer, so he is basically forced to buy the scope from them at the normal wholesale price and sell it to you at cost. That is not after sales service in my book.
