ya i would say thats better then anything else out there. im sure the reason they do that is once a new model comes out guys would be purposly wrecking their old stuff to get new stuff.
i really doubt i will ever buy another optic other then vortex unless i pony up for a swaro.... maybe. ive sent in my rangefinder that i dropped and broke the class on, sent me a new one. pair of talon binos flew of the back of a quad, sent me a new pair. they have earned a customer for life. i will be purchasing a new spotter before summer and it will be a razor. they may not make the "BEST" glass out, but its dang good, especially for the money. and they stand behind their product
