In the sense that very few of us have a top-rated gunsmith living next door to us, so any work needed requires a long drive or shipping. This requires additional lost time and costs. Looking at the dimensions of the scope and the size of the Mauser action (as well as numerous scope mount charts) you will not even consider the need for an extension ring. Then you go to mount it and the raised Leica emblems throw a wrench into everything. Our options were to remove or shave down the unnecessary emblem on a $1200+ scope or get an extension ring.
Now, German scope mounts are not something readily available and they often require addition modifications unless you get the exact one needed. Now in my case, our issue required a call to NECG (one of the few places in the US that stock high quality scope mounts) where they (fortunately) had the needed extension ring in stock. We requested (extra cost) express shipping so I could get ready for Africa. The gunsmith called me and immediately mounted everything as soon as it arrived. How many gunsmiths do that?
Maybe I am just wrapped too tight, but I was frustrated. The guys at NECG and the gunsmith (Todd Ramirez, one of the best) could not believe how calm I was about all this. However, I did go pour me a whisky at 0800 in the morning when Todd called and said "we have a problem..."
In summary, I had several manufacturing facilities under my charge before I retired from the civilian work force, so I understand how a "great idea", or a well-intended marketing gimmick can cause the consumer extra cost and frustration. What Leica did here is a good example but how they handle it will say who they are.
