Default Bushnell Range finder's

Last season I forgot to take the batteries out of my Bushnell 800 rangefinder . I replaced the batteries before I went on the moosehunt, but failed to notice the corrosion on the terminal's. When I went to use them They wouldn't read a thing, I took the batteries out and still never noticed the terminal's. I replaced with yet with another set of batteries.After this didn't work I took a closer look and noticed the corrosion on them ,so I took a small piece of sandpaper and cleaned them up ,finally they worked ,but when I took them out the next morning they had quit working again .I played around with them but only every few tries would they work .After coming home from the hunt, I took them out to range some of my deer stand's ,this time they started acting real strange by flashing on and off till finally they never worked again .
I took them to Gabrielle's photoshop where I bought them ,and they sent them back to Bushnell for me to be fixed .The following month the store called me to tell me that Bushnell had sent me a new set of rangefinder's and that it would cost me 112.00 for the exchange for the old one's [ the warranty is only 1yr].I didnt think this was too bad since I had this set of rangefinder's for 6 year's now . Today I went in to collect them and I noticed that they had the Bushnell Sport's 800 in the showcase ,I asked him if there was any chance that we could work out a deal, and take the sport's over the other 800's which are much larger. The sport will go into your shirt pocket .The sport's were not around 6year's ago when I purchased them, but this all they had. He said! I guess we could work something out ,and gave them to me for the same deal .I was sooo happy walking out of his store and I'll definetly be back to buy other optic's from him ,I now have a brand new and compact set of rangefinder's in which I might add, are even clearer optic's than my old one's . I think I got a good deal considering my old one's were exactly that old.
