Thanks Mick, a bit depressing.. I suppose my options are to ignore it and hope it doesn't go any further than surface rust or spot treat it every few months (just as ugly looking as the rust I suppose) or disassemble the scope and have the tube taken back, primed and repainted properly. I wish they'd used aluminium, I'm almost tempted to look into the cost of having a replacement aluminium tube fabricated but I'd have to wonder if the other components are good enough to justify it.

Or maybe I was lucky to get a good tube

It would be interesting (to me anyway) to have a poll of GSO owners regarding rust, maybe there was just a bad batch..?
