[QUOTE="Hotmail, post: 2960567, member: 128098"] Glad they hooked you up. I personally haven't had to use Sightron's warranty yet. Recently got denied warranty repair or replacement on an Athlon Cronus BTR 4.5-29x56 that was defective straight out of the box. The Illumination had issues and only one side of the reticle would Illuminate bright while the other half is noticeably dimmer and Athlon's CS Warranty manager Chuck told me since some of them are like that while others don't have this issue straight from the factory so it's not a defect if I got one of the bad ones and is not considered a warranty issue and they don't repair them nor offer any replacement if anyone experience this same Issue I have. As long as the Illumination turns on to them it works as it should regardless if the Illumination is uneven on one half of the reticle. My other Athlon Cronus BTR 4.5-29x56 doesn't have this Illumination issue and is perfect throughout the entire reticle and is absolutely beautiful when the Illumination is used aside from everything being unbelievably stiff. For $1699.99 to $1799.99 for their top of the line Athlon Cronus BTR scopes, pray you get a good one because Athlon won't replace it if you get one of their bad ones with defective illuminated reticles. I have first hand experience with oneof each good and bad and first time warranty denied because they don't consider it defective if it at least turns on regardless if it looks like hell. Actually second time because the 2 Argos 6-24x50 scopes with terrible image quality I had bought they said was normal like looking through waxed paper on high magnification. Should have switched to VORTEX a long time ago at least they won't screw you over if you have any issues with their products. [/QUOTE]
