Well I don’t need to worry about a base for now

After I had one take a crap on a hunting rifle I vowed not to use for hunting again. I don't give to *censored*s about the warranty if i have to use it frequently.  I still have a spotter and a range finder I use.

I don't get it. So many people stroke vortex Leupold for their warranty when so many manufacturers have decent warranties nowadays and better glass to boot.

I guess they don't consider the fact that the amazing vortex VIP Leupold warranty(or any warranty really) doesn't cover the ruined hunt the optic causes... but yeah, love that warranty! 

Fixed it for ya!
Been saying it for years.

I may just sell all my vipers and go with the nightforce.  60 min just isn’t enough anymore.

If you do much dial up shooting, I don't think you will ever regret spending the extra money and buying a NF. 

pretty much all my shooting is dialing.  Would like at least 120 min.

Then you'll want the ATACR, not the NXS model.  I just bought a new NF ATACR 5-25x56 a couple days ago for a build I currently have that'll be finishing up in a coupe months.

That is the one I want.   May have to sell a few more toys if I can’t find one used.  Just found a spot to shoot out to 2600 yards.

I think the big problem is that we demand great glass at rock bottom prices.  There are those that make the $4k scopes which should be the best of the best, but in the $500 - $900 range, manufacturers have to make decisions to be able to put out a product that sells.  The warranty is a great way to cover any manufacturing issues as well as reluctance to buy new models before they are proven.

turret caps and parallax falling off are pretty egregious and for $500-900 I'd like to think I can expect a scope to hold it together at least.

I agree that anybody who thinks just because they pick up a refurbed PST with a sweet a$$ sunshade shouldn't expect Swaro clarity or NF precision but that doesn't excuse the more basic issues with some of these products. 

I cover my products with warranty but I never ship something out expecting 30% of it to fail

Well scope is “fixed” and on its way home

Excellent! As soon as you get it back, list it for sale and never look back.
