Just received an email back from Hawke regarding how long their warranty Is for their scopes, and this Is the reply that I got. It seems that the lifetime warranty only came Into effect at the beginning of this year. I knew that I'd read that all Hawke optics come with a 10 year warranty not so long ago,
