Free: Contests & Raffles.
I had inquired to their customer service about these scopes. I got a response back that I needed to email tech support (instead of simply forwarding me email). I emailed them and never received a response, so I bought a new Steiner GS3 2-10X48. The pricing comparison was a savings on the Steiner of about $150. There's no lighted reticle, but there are cascading stadia for wind correction. The glass is super clear and has Color adjusted Transmission coating, which is supposed to make mammals stand out against foliage, although not IR. On a funny side note, I emailed Steiner two weeks ago about some ballistics questions on their stadia and haven't received a response back yet. No response from either company on email. Boggles my mind how a modern company can do that.
If one of our clients doesn't get responded to immediately by email, the responsible salesman gets a ration.
I understand completely, and a lot of times it is easier to explain a question in an email vice directly over the phone. I just have had better luck with Leupold by calling...On a side note Burris customer service covers Steiner. They are both owned by Berretta now. I've found both Burris and Leupold customer service (for warranty repair work) to be outstanding without the usual run-around (like Bushnell for example) on repair work. Just my experience. By the way how do you like that Steiner scope?
It's a beautiful scope. Once I have the gun to put it on, I'll know even more! We're a couple of weeks out yet. Of course it's a friend of mine who's getting it since I saw the light and sold all of my guns on Dec. 3rd last year. They're dangerous, you know. That's what Bloomy told me.
