Hi Kate, any feedback gratefully received. I received a couple of responses and general consensus was due to the way the scope is put together 2 x 1.5m, there’s always a weak area in the middle so you need to budget for regular (costly) repairs. Same experience despite using/trying scopes from various suppliers so wouldn’t recommend one over another.
