A new pair of binos after 20 years of hard service seems like a heck of a deal to me. I have a couple of old leupolds on the shelf that gave up the ghost after 40 years or so. The still hold their zero but are hazy inside. I could send them back,.but we got our moneys worth out of them. I think that the lifetime warranty is more to tell the customer that they are getting a well made product that they can trust. From a money stand point Nikon could probably make more money by building scopes as cheap as they can and just giving a new one to everyone who complains.
Does this mean that you are turning down my offer of new vx2s to replace your old swaros?
