I don't believe I'll ever by another scope/bino that doesn't have a life-time warrantee.

Are you suggesting that Nikon doesn't have a lifetime warrantee? :dunno:

I'll suggest that.  At least on my Bino's, Nikon's warranty is a 25 year "no-fault" warranty.  It was explained to me that you could run'em over with your truck basically and send'em in and for $10 they replace'em.  Thats not lifetime, but it's certainly pretty damn good, and would not be what made the difference in a purchase for me if I liked the scope..

nikons warranty is 25 years for bino's, spotters and field scopes...

If your Nikon binocular, spotting scope or Fieldscope requires service or repair not covered by our 25-Year Limited Warranty, Nikon will repair or replace it—even if it was your fault—for just $10, plus return shipping and handling.

lifetime for other stuff i guess  :dunno:

At Nikon, we believe the best warranty is one you’ll never have to use. For this reason, we crafted the Nikon Lifetime Full Warranty, which provides confidence on those rare occasions when something goes wrong. If any Nikon riflescope is found to have defects in workmanship or materials, we will, at our option, repair or replace it at no charge, even if you are not the original owner. No time limit applies and no
warranty card is required.

it states a 25 year limited warranty, not a lifetime, for binocular, spotting scopes or field scopes. field scopes are their upscale spotters i believe is whati decided. seems that maybe riflescopes are left out of that so maybe they have a lifetime, but bino's and spotters do not.  :dunno:  i have a couple nikon scopes and a pair of bino's  so i am curious too.

I am refering to their rifle scopes, that is what the author of the thread originally asked for, not bino's, spotters or field scopes. ;)

I learned everything I know about optics from Tommy Boy :chuckle:

"Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of sh*t. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time."

Nikon Pro Staff 3x9 BDC, Burris Fullfield II, Leupold VX, in that order for me.  I have all three and they are all pretty close, but the Nikon is the clearest and least expensive of the three.

Can't really go wrong with any of the three though.
