    Vortex cranks out a high volume of optics at a low cost per unit so can offer a great warranty. However the warranty is required as the high volume and low QC affects their reliability...it seems to me that Vortex is one company where they use their guarantee in place of quality control.

    My Swarovski and Kahles scopes that I sent in for warranty took nearly 4 months to come back to me. However both were repaired at no charge so it was worth the long wait.
    A good job and a good wife has been the ruin of many a good hunter.
