this of another site zeiss and swarovski withdrawing warranties if used on moderated rifle ie centrefires due to the recoil damaging the reticles i think this is a wind up any ideas
Sounds like b*llocks. Can't speak of Zeiss, but Swaro after sales service is legendary. I doubt they would risk this reputation for the very small number of returns it might save them, that is even supposing an exclusion is enforceable, which I doubt.
My mate has just got a swaro "a" line back from repair(last year) they said it was a moderated rifle what damaged the reticule.
Apparently the z scopes have different reticule system and are more reliable with mods.
The "A" series scopes have a different erector assembly (read cheaper) that the P or Z series. It is known that a Mod on a rifle can cause a different recoil movement (like a springer airgun) which can be hard on scopes.
I can say with 100% certainty that Swarovski will cover your scope no matter what type of rifle you use it on.
It did used to be the case that the reticule could break on older model scopes but Swarovski always replaced the broken scope because of this and replaced the reticule with an etched reticule to prevent it happening again.
All modern scopes from Swarovski now come with an etched reticule.
Had problems in the past with Zeiss but have found Swarovski's service second to none.
"shocking" news. thanks for the info regarding the warantys. yet another reason to keep my wallet closed! (i dont really need a reason, im just tight.)
