So much for the vaunted Swarovski warranty.

The real question is, what should I put on my crossbow, swaro or votex?

Whichever doubles best as a butt plug.

400.00 and you have your Binoculars back.

Or go and Try and find New.
That are as good. For 400.00

I know what I would do.

Exactly. And after 22 years. That cost $18.19/year “extra” for one of the finest optical instruments made, and one used in incredibly unforgiving environments. Not much lasts forever and there is no blanket “free” repair. Use some common sense and be reasonable.

Find a 22 year old Vortex product. Most are replaced annually…

With all the money I saved buying cheap binoculars, I was able to buy my wife/sister, this nice trailer and a six pack of beer!

Shouldn’t she have a brewski in hand as well?

I have Leupold Wind River Pinnacles that are 25 years old. Some small stuff is a pain, but I would think a binocular that cost 4 to 5 times as much would last a bit longer. And yeah. I've used the shit out if them. Today even. mtmuley
