And bushnell has a warranty.So does Hawke, so does UTG, so does Hammers and so do quite a few others. As for the guy that said not to use anything but 30mm scopes on springers, I have something like 20 Hawke scopes, most of them Vantages, all with 1 inch tubes mounted in 2 piece ring sets and all are on springers and gas rams that shoot anywhere from 14 to 24 fpe and I've never had a problem of any kind with any of them.I can't speak for UTG, never owned one, but I do have a lot of Hawkes and a brand new Hammers 3-9x40 that appears to be holding up very well and if any of them break, I'll make use of the warranties they come with to get them replaced.Hammers warranty is not worth it. 20.00 shipping and they send me back a scope that zero shifted a ton on power change. The Bushnell was on sale, the cheapest side focus I've seen. Not saying no other companies have life time warranties its how well they hold up to that warranty. Id rather not have to use it it. So 20,000 shots from a springer and holding zero is pretty good. Hawkes are great bang for the buck scopes but no side focus models under 100.00. Gee Bob.....Wow I am sorry that happened to you with your Hammers scope ! I broke one and they took care of it at no charge. I talked with a Mr. Wang first, about my scope and then he took care of every thing after that. Here is his contact info.Best Wishes - Tom****************************************************************D. H. Wang <treadshop@ymail.com> Reply all|Tue 7/25, 5:59 PMYou Hello Tom, I apologize for the defective scope. A replacement can be processed.
