Disappointed - Nikon Monarch 3 Rifle Scope -2.5-10x50, BDC

I purchased this the end of September 2014 for a Christmas gift. When I took it out of the box at Christmas to mount on the rifle I noticed the end caps would not stay closed, they were very poor quality no comparison to the same scope I bought 2 or 3 years earlier. As far as the scope itself it is very high quality & meets all my expectations. I was very dissappointed the cap ends were rubber instead of the hard plastic ones that locked in place that came on my previous scope.
