Same as the replacement warranty on my torch from work,
everything 'cept bears, shark bite and 5 year olds.

I'm somewhat puzzled too, surely the bear/shark damage
more torches than 5 year... actually.. nevermind.

i've got 4x, 4-16x and 8-32x on varmint rifles, 22LR, 17hmr and 6-250 in that order. Depends on what you shoot, where and what the goal is, in my case, decent rabbits get headshot and cleaned up for the freezer, so the bigger scope makes sense for carefully placed shots. overkill on the scope in lot...

I've got 2 of the Mueller scopes, the 4-16x and 8-25x and they
are nice for the money, I bent one of them (stupidity).

Currently I'm using a burris black diamond 8-32x on the
6-250 and its great, really nice.

When the photos are taken, is it possible to take one of the side profile, and one from the bottom looking down to show the thickness and shape?

that would make a big difference to selecting them, pity he doesnt have a brocure or a website...
