    originally burris (usa made) had a great feature, instead of stretching the wire in the reticle on a duplex type scope the wire was"hammered" thinner and placed on edge for the crosshairs, this meant that you pretty much had the full strength of the wire in the reticle. nowadays who the hell knows

    There process is to return to retailer who will forward to them, if you don't follow it then no point going to small claims as they will just say well you didn't follow there process and they havnt had a chance to do anything yet,

    Send it back and see what they say about all you can do, sicks about the downtime tho

    Im quite sure they fix it without a problem. The warranty is pretty clear to me and if its faulty or been damaged they fix or replace it . The local BIG ChAIN STORE clearly has given bad advice and dont know their products very well at all! They advertised the scope , BACKED by the Forever Warranty as part of their sales pitch and the Forever warranty is pretty clear . That BIG Chain Store that said its not covered have it very wrong! Send it back to them, they forward it off to the agent, they send it to the USA and in 2-3 months you get it back like new.....if not watch some fireworks

    [QUOTE=ROKTOY;560643]I have a cheap 3

    Thanks for the offer Roktoy, and others that have been in touch. I am sorted for a scope for now, thanks to yet another good bugger on here.
    I have e-mailed Burris direct, but await the reply

    Hope you have better success than me - I emailed them a couple of years ago wanting advise on a stiff side focus knob. I got one belated reply to which I asked a reasonable question and that was it, nix more.

    Mate sent them a question just to test the situation and got no reply.

    They may have changed nowadays.
    Usually get overnight responses from most Yankee companies.

    I would be emailing Burris directly and putting the case to them and asking them how to proceed for repairs/replacement.

    I have followed protocol, and dropped the scope into H & F for them to forward to Berreta etc etc.
    Guy in the shop was very surprised that I wanted it returned, given the figures quoted, until I presented him with printoffs of all the relevant info regarding warranty, including his own employers web page.

    Methinks some staff training may be required to make sure they have the up to date info on products
