You cant go wrong with Swarovski. I have owned dozens of Swarovski binos and scopes. I have sent 4-5 in for factory service and cleaning, everyone has come back in like new condition at no charge. I posted a picture today of my rifle on the hunting forums that was blown to pieces this hunting season. I had a Swarovski 6x42 on top of it in talley rings and bases. The scope was torn from the receiver still in the rings and the tube was bent at a 20 degree angle, the eyepiece fell off in my hand when I picked it up. I sent it back to swarovski, got it back in a few months. New tube, lenses, a list of internal parts. No charge. I firmly believe Swarovski has the best customer service in the world, not just optics. Thats why I only own Swarovski products.
