    Zeiss "Lifetime" Warranty - refusal to stand behind its product

    Well, my hunting buddy has a new love for Zeiss. He chatted with a rep at the Portland Sportsman's show about the 2 sets of RF binos with the scratched coatings. Zeiss ended up replacing one of the sets with a brand new set. Great customer service!

    Spotting scopes…

    I had a Novagrade... You might want to consider Ollin.

    Need Suppressor Recommendation

    I called SilencerCo and asked about the SyctheTi for my AR-15. They said it will work, but not really recommended if stringing more than 12-15 shots a minute. The heat generated with that kind of use can break down the titanium. I asked about the Omega 300 and they said that would be a good...

    Arca Plate for a Swaro STC?

    I used the Outdoorsman's Arca Adapter Plate - just remove the 2 set screws - it has a smaller beveled top where it contacts the spotter... I did the blue loctite as well... https://outdoorsmans.com/collections/tripod-accessories/products/outdoorsmans-1-4-20-arca-style-adapter-plate

    Zeiss "Lifetime" Warranty - refusal to stand behind its product

    @Matt Cashell - maybe you misread my prior post? I did say the scratches were in the coating of the objectives... Zeiss said the coating scratches were due to improper lens care and therefore not covered under the 5 year no fault warranty. My buddy will be the first to admit he isn't the...

    Zeiss "Lifetime" Warranty - refusal to stand behind its product

    My hunting buddy had some Zeiss RF Binos that the objective coating developed scratches. Sent them in and Zeiss said "not covered by warranty and $700 to repair". The lens fix/replacement was going to take several months to complete, so he bought a second set for an upcoming hunt. One year of...

    Suppressor wait times

    Yes - I obtained digital fingerprints when I ordered the Scythe Ti (Trust) - Capital had everything on file so moving from the Trust to Individual was easy. I'll have to pay an additional $200 ATF tax to eventually transfer the Omega to my Trust...

    Suppressor wait times

    @RockAndSage & @Geewhiz - My roll of the dice worked! 🎲🎲 Ordered the Omega 300 from Capital Armory on 3/11 (Individual), Certified 3/12. APPROVED 3/14! My Scythe Ti (Trust) is still in jail...

    Chipotle bacon sausage

    Do you mean 10-15 garlic cloves? I love garlic, but 10-15 bulbs in 5lbs of meat would probably put me in the dog house...

    Suppressor wait times

    I ordered a Scythe Ti in a Trust through Capital Armory about a month ago. With everybody posting the fast approval times, I decided to roll the dice and order a second suppressor (Omega 300) through Capital as an Individual. I had to call to have them change my profile from Trust to...

    Zip off base layers?

    When I bought mine, they were available on Amazon, but it appears now you would need to order direct.

    Zip off base layers?

    The Kuiu that I had rode uncomfortably low and had a loose waist band. The Northern Playground were comfortable, decent quality merino, and had good zippers. IMO, the Northern were Swaro compared to the Kuiu Vortex. Lol.

    Zip off base layers?

    I had some of the first generation Kuiu zip offs and hated them - they were extremely low riders. I saw a recommendation for Northern Playground and picked some up. For me they were a far better fit... https://www.northernplayground.no/en/shop/ziplongs-r-3-4?fit=men
