I bought a Scopechief V back in 72, It went Bad about two years later. At that time The warranty (I believe) was 20 years. They sent me a refurb after the second try. First repair lasted one or two shots. But that refurb is still going strong and compares to a 4200 for clarity and brightness. It was a top of the line scope back then. Guess it depends when it was purchased for the warranty length. Also yours is a Scopechief and Scopechief VI, may make a difference.
