[QUOTE="Hotmail, post: 2979740, member: 128098"] That's why I have to be extra careful to do a lot of research before buying anything with my luck. Forgot to mention I'd recommend avoiding buying anything from Element Optics brand also. I bought their top of the line $2800.00 Theos 6-36x56 scope and their customer service and warranty is severely lacking. The Illumination seems to be not reliable and intermittent and I already replaced the battery several times with the same results. I had especially bad luck making very bad choices in regards to buying the most expensive (models) from (Japanese) Element Optics, (Japanese) Athlon, and (Chinese) Bushnells regarding their no warranty honoring and their extremely poor customer service after paying such high amounts of money for them. I recently bought some Chinese mid level $600 Athlons during this past Black Friday sale that were dropped shipped straight from Athlon Optics which had damaged boxes but the outer shipping box was perfectly unscathed so it appears as though Athlon purposely hand picked brand new scopes specifically with damaged boxes to send me. Another major bummer during Black Friday sale is a dealer sent me used returned Athlon scopes and one even had ring marks and we're also $600 scopes that were supposed to be brand new. Same dealer I bought several new Arken EPL4s and EP5s that didn't include any batteries with any of the scopes but one of the used Athlons had a battery included in the box and some of them looked like they weren't factory set and already been played with and one had ring marks. Another dealer quoted me a certain price and actually solicited me to buy from him so I paid close to $8000.00 for couple of Element Optics scopes out the door including delivery then after the fact he wants more money to add insurance. He even did not honor his original quoted price which he solicited me on. [/QUOTE]
