Graham, thanks for replying. I'm not sure of his name (this was back in 2017 or so), but I can get you the info for the gun shop where he did the presentation.Do you have the information on who that was? I would really like to speak with them as that is a completely false narrative.
The VIP Warranty comes with all of our products because we appreciate our customers and want to make sure they are taken care of no matter what happens after the point of sale. We hope that you never have to use it - most people don't. Majority of the optics that come in actually don't need to come in or are caused by user error, but they are still covered fully.
If you have any questions on our warranties or our products, please don't hesitate to come straight to the source as I am always more than happy to chat with you.
If that's not the case, I'm truly sorry for sharing false information.
FWIW, that guy's words didn't have any effect on my dad's choice of some new 12x50 UHD's recently.
