That's the way I understand the Bullet proof "no questions asked" warranty for the first year, then after that it is limited lifetime. I just wondered if anyone had actually used it before and if they had, what their experiences were. My only complaint with the scope is I just can not get used to the reticle. It has the 3-2-1 lowlight reticle and I thought at first I would like it. But after my first outing at the range with it I just do not like it. It covers too much of the target. I don't know what to do....maybe I need to shoot it more and give it a chance. It may work well on big game. The scope is very clear, bright and the adjustments seem to be precise. It is my own fault I know....but the price was good and I thought I would give something other than a Leupold a try!
