whoever bought the name only warrentys scopes they have sold,i have 1 about 15 years old a 5 star that had a lifetime warrenty,the tube got bent & it cost me $80 for them to retube & reticule it,i paid $300 for it back then so i reckon $80 wasnt too bad.its been 10 years or so since i had it fixed.the latest owners of the name have only had the name a few years,mike243
