Not any kind of "obvious lie" about the strength of the tube, if you look into it they are saying that their aluminum tube (with it's thicker walls) is stronger than many scopes made with (thin) steel tubes. The recessed objective lens is mentioned only because the original military specification required an objective lens that was not recessed, allowing the lens to be easier to clear of water and mud. It was originally made for a Navy contract so they were concerned with clearing any water off the lens quickly on the beaches. I think they mention it because some did not like the lens of the original models exposed to harm, they are saying that they have addressed that concern for most shooters.

I have never used them but I am familiar with it, I have heard some good things about it.
