Leapers utg warranty is worthless - UTG Pro BugBuster 3-9x32mm 1 in Tube Rifle Scope, Second Focal Plane

I had an illumination issue with one of their scopes I purchased here and was made to believe they could fix it and was never told that if not repairable and not carried in stock any longer it would only be credited. I sent my scope in and they told me it was nonrepairable and because the model is no longer carried in stock they could only apply credit towards a new purchase from their site at a discount from the MSRP - well with Optics Planets discounts that makes the warranty not much different than buying it outright and even less on some options. So, I'm out the shipping for "warranty" service plus my time and aggravation. I have received new equivalent replacement items with no questions asked from other manufacturers, like Burris, on optics no longer carried so I'll eat my loss on Leapers and use my monies on future purchases with the likes of Burris, Primary Arms, and Leupold.
