It's not like only the cheap ones are covered.
- way fewer people own the higher end line of scopes
- the higher end scopes take much more abuse which means they aren't breaking as often
- so again, it's worth extending the warranty to those optics for the bragging point
Edit: I'm really just bored this morning and have nothing better to do than argue about these points, but I think they're valid. lol
At the end of the day I wouldn't hold a company responsible for my negligence, period. If they repair/replace free, great. If not, it was my screw up from the get go.

Or do you mean binoculars on a tripod? In that case, also a no, because reasons stated above. Spotting scope is the only thing on a tripod.

I broke down my SP2022 to clean it for the first time yesterday.
When you have the slide off the frame, it really hits you how lightweight these composite guns are. Makes me feel a bit nervous, actually. Feels like I'm trusting my life to 8oz of plastic.

Much of Iowa has a lot more rolling hills, they aren't big and the changes are not much, and even out more or less, but it's kind of (rolling) hilly. Go drive through Indiana. It's a pool table.
I'll note my experience is almost all at or east of Des Moines
