Well, i would have done exactly as you have done, that is come to a forum and ask for peoples opinion.
I am not to sure who was bagging out a supplier without contacting them first, i read in your post that you were seeking advice and asking for peoples opinion, nothing to do with bagging a supplier!
I would ring them and explain your concern, and state that you are not happy with the product rusting so soon after purchasing it.
You will be offered a refund more than likely, or if he is willing to exchange it, that's good.
And i also think that $1000+ for an item is a hell of a lot of money, just because it's a "Made in China" scope, shouldn't mean the item be expected as inferier, if this should be expected from these scopes, then they are way over priced and should sell for their"cheaper quality Bang for Buck" value of say, $450.
And as far as people posting on forums regarding quality and the standard of products supplied to them by Australian suppliers, i support this 100%,
Good luck with your scope.
