I bought a viper scope that had the side parallax focus know break and I was able to take it to a local vortex dealer and they swapped it out for me. No questions asked. Pretty cool huh?
A week later my hunting partner and I head to the range to help another of our partners with his new rifle. He’s a newbie to hunting, but familiar with weapon systems since he is a fellow Marine. I had my razor spotting scope and my partner had his viper. As I was grabbing mine he told me to leave it in the truck since he already had his out. We walk up to our bench and set up. Run the target out to 100 yds (max range at this range) and return to set up tripod and spotting scope. He pulls out his viper and it’s snapped in two. Two weeks prior we used it at this exact range and it was fine. Scope was placed in the range bag and then in his back seat of his cab then set in his garage. Nothing on top of the bag that he was aware of. But some how, it broke. I’m half. Thankfully I had my razor and we were good to go. Buddy’s 100yd group with ruger American in 308 and cheap vortex crossfire scope. Viper is being sent in to vortex and I’m sure they will replace it as new. The local retailer didn’t have the same model in for the swap.
No idea what snapped it in half.
