** Zeiss is generous with their warranty program and send a brand new scope instead of repairing the old one more often than not. BUT, the factory makes the scopes in batches, which means you may have to wait several weeks to get a replacement. We suggest not sending anything in until after the hunts are over.
*** Trijicon produces specifically
for the military and tests every scope by mounting it.
****The amount of scope you get for
the money spent just isn't there. |

*** Trijicon produces specifically for the military and tests every scope by mounting it. Subsequently, they do not reject minor scratches and blemishes on the scope finish. However, the optics are impeccable. |
