They added a small tube that increased magnification, the warranty is void, but there are still a few guys out there that work on them. But I think of it as...how many of my Leupold scopes have I ever had to send in for warranty work. The scope has a side focus, so I have never had the reticle disappear. I know I sound like a used car salesman here, but these are fine scopes, I just need something with lower power for coyotes up close!
