[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 195951, member: 412"] I'm not into spending 3x-5x what something is actually worth just to have an over the counter warrantee. Their whole brand was built on: "We'll just hand you another over the counter today no questions asked if there's a problem." Nobody can afford an over the counter warrantee unless they're significantly overcharging you the 1st time. Retailers love Vortex because margins are great and Vortex does a shit-ton of advertising. Salespeople love to sell Vortex because they have lucrative sales contests/spiffs that provide free product to the salespeople. Gunwriters dote on Vortex for the same reason, free shit. It's not a large sample and it was very early in the launch of the Vortex line, but, the 1st 3 people I knew that owned Vortex all had troubles with them. They got replaced no questions asked, but, I'd rather not deal with that. I certainly haven't owned every brand/model of riflescope available, but, I've owned an awful lot of them, I like to think I know what I need, what I don't, and how to find it. [/QUOTE]
