Thanks for the note! Vortex will fix it (in the standard vortex way, they'll just swap the scope with another refurbished one). I personally don't think it's worth it - the scope is pristine outside of that small mark, which shouldn't impact viewing at all.Hey Kyle, have you checked with Vortex and see if they would "fix" the mark on the front objective lens under their Warranty program? If so might make the sale more appealing. Just my 2 cents.
