Nikon Warranty, is there any?

[Bad Bob]

Well, I tried the phone # to Nikon`s service department all day and was on hold forever, never did talk to anyone, so put the scope in original box with all paperwork that was still in it when I opened it and included a note describing the issues as well as the receipt and shipped it off yesterday. Will let you know what happens.

Never had a problem with Leupold tracking, ever, can`t say the same for Vortex, Nikon and Bushnells.

my Nikon tracks wonderfully. I use the spot on app for my specific bullets and it is awesome.
I've never met a leupold scope that I like except for the tactical prismatic. For some reason leupold glass and my eyes do not jive.

Hey, it`s like the Ford vs Chevy thing, whatever works for you.

Actually I won`t miss them that much, I`ve tried 3 of their scopes and 2 out of three were crap so I would not buy another one anyway.

I guess I've been lucky in that regard. I've owned 5 now and zero issues . Don't care for the bdc reticle though so 4 of them are nikoplex.

Update on Nikon warranty. Shipped my scope to the Nikon service department in Mississauga and it was delivered May 6th. No phone calls or e-mails from them. I have phoned them numerous times and what I always get now is a recording,"our office is now closed, blah, blah, blah". Looks like a lost cause and a lesson learned not to buy crap. Oh well I guess I should be happy I only had one of their pieces of s--t.

I don't know if you ever sent something to Korth but I can tell you I didn't receive an email or phone call at all and it took over 2 month to get the optics back.

A couple of years ago I sent in a 25 year old Vari X 111 6.5-20x40 that I had target turrets and a fine duplex installed in, as the gun had taken a nasty fall and landed right on the scope which gave up the ghost. Exactly 10 days later a package arrived from Korth. Inside was a brand new VX 3 6.5-20x40 c/w target turrets and a fine duplex. Makes me really wonder why in the hell I ever bought that Nikon crap to start with.

From now on if it`s not a Zeiss or Leupold, the only "cheaper" brand I will buy will be Burris. Never had a Nikon or Vortex that was any good to be honest.

Yeah, Korth and their efforts. Ha, sigh.

Based on the fact that you're not complaining about it being sent back unrepaired, I'm going to assume they repaired it, maybe back ordered part was cause for the delay ?

Interesting. You have the exact opposite experience of most people - nikon is often referred to as some of the best glass for the price.

Nikon glass is decent, the mechanics and warranty is not.

Don't know if it was repaired or not. Never put it back on the rifle as I didn't want to waste my time and money any longer or have to deal with their warranty again. Sold it with full disclosure to the buyer.
