Warranty is not all that bad , even if your not the original owner they should cover it,. I've had a few dealings with them, last was a 6x32 bugbuster that wouldnt keep a poa. they charged me 15 bucks , guess to help defay the cost of return shipping, but what I got back was a brand new scope. only difference was the dots were the newer larger one compared to the smaller dot that was in the scope I sent them.
fyi, I dont recall them ever asking if I were the original owner.
