[QUOTE="Deleted member 25294, post: 1260454"] I had a Sightron SIII 8-32 scope a few years back. My experience with the glass was good, the quality however was lacking. I used the elevation turret a lot for long range shooting and one day (about a year after buying the scope) it simply got stuck, upon further investigation the actual turret assembly bad broken! I had been dialing up and down with the turret for an hour and suddenly it just froze! I have no idea in hell what could have caused this as I was extremely careful with the scope and it was never so much as bumped. Anyway I sent it back to Sightron for repair and they would not cover the defect, they claimed that the damage was from the scope being dropped seriously hard and was in no way a defect. I went round and round with managers and they basically called me a liar when I told them that the scope was never in any way dropped or bumped, also there was not a ding or scratch on the scope which would have certainly shown up if dropped that hard.. It was ridiculous and expensive to get my scope repaired. The way customer service treated me makes me seriously surprised that they are still in business. Buy a Vortex, excellent glass, turrets, and customer service. [/QUOTE]
