[QUOTE="Hotmail, post: 2973866, member: 128098"] They may have an advertised lifetime warranty but question is will they actually honor it when it's your turn for a warranty claim? I have my own reservations about Bushnell, Athlon, Zeiss, Burris, Riton, and Blackhound (there's more but this is just off of the top of my head) in regards to actually honoring their lifetime warranty and the time it may actually take to get a repair or replacement. Zeiss for example may take a very long turnaround time if they have to send your scope overseas to Germany for repairs. Others may claim nothing wrong with your scope and send it right back to you or replace with another defective or someone else's used scope or even flat out may not honor their lifetime warranty. In your case sounds like a Vortex Razor LHT or Strike Eagle 3-18x44 FFP 34mm or Arken EPL4 would suffice. I have yet to hear a peep about Vortex or Arken screwing over any of their customers over warranty and they in fact even send prepaid return shipping label of you need warranty so there's zero dollars out of pocket to pay shipping and insurance for warranty with these two specific companies. Arken isn't as lightning quick as Arken regarding communication but they do take care of their customers eventually via email. This is the reason I recently bought several Arken EP5s and EPL4s received earlier this month. They are at least double to triple the quality their low prices may depict. I especially like their huge eyebox and wide FOV especially the EP5s. Excellent glass on their newest EP5s and EPL4s and way better than their older ones that's for sure. The newest EP5 is actually really clear even at it's maximum 25x magnification unlike the older ones that were only clear up until 20x. I compared them to my Athlon Cronus and Tract Toric and Tenmile and the glass is unbelievably close believe it or not you have to see it to believe it. Biggest difference how really huge the eyebox and FOV is and I prefer looking through the EP5 TBH. After comparing my Strike Eagle 3-18x44 FFP 34mm to my new much cheaper lighter weight 4-16x44 Arken EPL4 and found image quality very similar with superior turrets and easy to set zero stop which doesn't limit total elevation travel at a 2.5x cost factor I'm still scratching my head. I think they should have stayed with a 30mm tube to keep the weight and price down if the zero stop was going to limit the total elevation travel anyway. [/QUOTE]
