They're probably betting on an awful lot of buyers that rarely do any shooting too. For somebody that only shoots a hundred rounds per year it could well last their lifetime. There was a thread on FB last week from a guy that loaded forty rounds of .308 four years ago. He's getting low and needs to reload some of them. A $36 scope that spends its life locked in the safe would likely suit him just fine.
