Zulu 6 Durability

[CMcCormick1805]

The pictures below outline what happened to my Zulu’s today. I’ve had them less than a year and this makes me truly question the long term durability of the binos. The stabilization turns on but would be a pain with gloves.

Has anyone else ran into this problem? Did the Sig warranty cover it?

I haven’t but I never did like that switch. I feel like a button would have been better. Warranty should cover it no problem.

As long as the guts are solid, I wouldn't complain too much for the price.

They need to cut costs somewhere, and you found out where!

What’s with the gouge under the switch lever?

Did you buy it secondhand? Something got damaged there.

Nope brand new with normal use. This happened on a hunt this week.

something happened there to cause that. It doesn’t come stock with a deep gouge under the switch.
But regardless, the warranty should get it fixed, probably replaced..

Just a follow up. Just packaged the optic up to send back to Sig. Customer service was ok remedy was just “snap,” it back on. I explained the part better and they agreed to warranty it. Sig is no Vortex when it comes to customer service but not horrible.

On a separate note I was worried the Image Stabilized was a crutch. After a successful bear hunt yesterday I can say I’m still an effective glasser with my trusty Maven binos.
