I'm trying to think of gear I've been disappointed with in the last 10 years or so and the only thing of I can think of is a Vortex rifle scope that failed during a hunt 3 years ago. I sent it in for repairs and sold it. Will never waste money on Vortex again. Sold it and hustled OT to buy a Nightforce NX8.
On the flip side, I bought a Leica range finder in 2002 that I still use to this day. I used that rangefinder for years as my only optic while I saved up for Meopta 10's. It sucked not having binoculars but I made due.
With the help of rokslide I've really been able to research products before I make a purchase so I feel most of my gear works as I intended it to. I basically save, Ramsey envelope style, so I have lots of time to research, change direction or delete items on my wish list.
Overall, I feel like the the gear I have is well vetted and works great for what I do.
