Buyer beware.
Did the same to my Leupold 2 years ago. Nasty fall on"'The Rock". Banged myself up pretty good and the scope was a write-off. Sent it in, brand new one comes back. Tough to beat the service from Leupold.
mike_b,
A few hundred bucks might not seem like a lot but the Zeiss warranty doesn't stack up against Leupold (or Leica & Swaro for that matter). Their lifetime warranty only covers mechanical damage resulting from normal use.
What you do for yourself dies with you. What you do for others lives long after you're gone.
