I do hope we all know how a "Lifetime Warranty" works...

I will give you a scenario.

I have $100 US in my hand
If I get that $100 from China or the Philippines it costs me $20
You buy my $20 with Lifetime Warranty for $140
and whoever sold you my $20 cost him $100 here in the US to sell it to you.
You have your $140 Lifetime Warranty and it breaks within that first year...
I have made interest on the $100 for a year
and now give you $20 back for your Lifetime Warranty...
I still have $80 from you and I can do this 4 more times before I'm out of my $100, I did still make more interest on $80 I have and so on...
Now not all of my $100's are going to break and I made money on them

So if you get where this is going, I can get something cheap enough at my cost and my Lifetime Warranty doesn't really cost me that much because I still made $$$ on it instead of having "Quality" and going for cheap, Of course not built in the USA and not having jobs here... I guess it's worth the Lifetime Warranty... I mean how many $140's are made in the US anymore anyways.

Not to say there isn't a cost to the high end glass and their warranty, but using high quality parts, construction and labor help in not having to use that warranty, in the last 12 years of using the first pair of Swaro's and have not an issue with them.

Something to think about...

I had to use Vortex customer service for the firs time.  Was my fault, stripped out a base for a red dot.  Within about three minutes of calling, I had talked to two American fellas and had a new base in the mail free or charge.  Cant praise Vortex enough.
