F@&k nikon pal, excuse me there! I've had thee worst experience with their warranty. I bought leupolds, like them, but bushnell has a top notch warranty and makes good products. Nikon gave me some Mickey Mouse crap to replace the pair I sent them. They cost me $300 when I bought them, I looked up the pair they replaced those with and they sell for $99 and are all plastic and just feel cheap! My buddy sent in his bushnell binocs and they sent him the next best pair because they discontinued his original pair. That's customer service in my book, I've heard similar good stories about leupold too.
