That electronics warranty sucks. 

I've been using the old Bushnell rangefinding binoculars for many years, I even bought three of them at a Bargain Cave in MN for an amazing price and gave a couple away as Christmas gifts.  But now, almost 15 years later, one had the electronics quit working and another has a loose eyepiece, though still works.

I would really like to get a new one.

Why is that not included in the warranty enclosed with the LaserForce, which explicitly excludes electronics?

That is an excellent question. While I do not work directly for Nikon I know a lot of folks who do and I will ask them and get back to you.

Sorry, should have posted this the other day, Monday... Amazon had the Nikon for $850, but it doesn't show up now. Guess what I'm getting for Christmas?   8)

I called Nikon and asked about the warrenty on the rangefinder.  Electronics are not covered after 1 year! Looks like I will go with the Vortex

I did go with the Nikon.

So far, they have been good.  The glass seems decent and I have ranged a duck out at 255 yards.  I had a little glitchy moment last week or so where I was ranging some anchored boats, hit one at about 365 and then tried to do the one past it and kept getting short yardages.  Eventually, I was able to get it to read at about 520.  I might have been hitting the waves or something.

I will say, the first one I received would turn on but not range anything, I had my replacement before I even got the first one in the mail.

I'm sorry you were given mis-information on the LaserForce bino/Rangefinder. As I stated above the electronics and optic's ARE covered under Nikon's lifetime warranty. Nikon just released a new rangfinder you guy's be inrterested in checking out. MONARCH 3000 Stabilized Rangefinder. Yup, 3000 yards! I'll post a link below for you. It won best new product award at ATA show in Indianapolis, IN last week. We should have a lot fo guy's checking it out next week at Shot Show. $420 with a 5 year warranty on the electronics. I have been using the 7iVR for 2 years but now that I'm doing more longrange shooting the 3000 should be a handy tool.

Can you quote us the promise of full lifetime support on the Laserforce electronics that you got from an authorized Nikon representative?

We are talking about Nikon's LaserForce Rangfinder Binocular's right? It say's LaserForce Rangefinder binocular's right there on the No Fault Policy. I can't make it any easier then that. Nikon's new MONARCH 3000 rangfinder has a 5 year warranty on it. I will be checking it out next week and let you guy's know what I think.

Select the link, click overview and scroll down. It does say Laserforce has the no fault coverage. Been thinking about gettting these. How is the size? They look big in the picture.
