Thanks fellows for your info. I will send it in. I thought it had a lifetime warranty, but no where in the booklet I have that came with it does it say anything about a lifetime warranty. (I don't have the box, which may have on its exterior "lifetime warranty" for marketing it). The booklet just tells where to send it. The part aboutadding $10 with shipment of scope and they'll give me a quote on repairis info I got off their web site.

Thanks again
Dan
