I had a Vortex Ranger 1300 rangefinder that I bought new and had used for many years in all conditions. It was a great unit and I was extremely happy with it.
However, when I was putting my gear together and checking it over in preparation for our early antlerless season, I discovered the Ranger wouldn't work. Changed batteries and did everything I could think of to solve the problem but nothing worked. I emailed Vortex and followed their directions, returning it for their inspection. I received emails when they received it and when they were returning it. Based on their verbiage, I expected to see my rangefinder returned and working which was perfectly fine with me.
I was surprised to find a brand new Viper 3000 rangefinder along with a note saying my old one couldn't be repaired so they were replacing it. I know this is what their warranty states, but with so many horror stories today about companies reneging on customer service promises, it's nice to see one standing by theirs. Kudos to Vortex.
