FAQ: Why is the Horus Warranty Only One Year?

For the time being, we offer a One Year Warranty instead of a Lifetime Warranty for the sole reason of keeping our prices affordable.  Chris Farley said it well in the 1995 movie Tommy Boy.  Why would you want to shoulder costs for a chronic equipment abuser who continues to send his scope back year after year from hammering tent stakes with it and “accidentally” backing over it with his truck?  You can pay a decent price for a scope, or you can pay for an expensive warranty, or you can do both… or neither- it’s really up to you.

We have also found that if anything is going to go wrong with a good rifle scope, it will do so almost immediately.  You have a whole year to shake out any manufacturing defects or workmanship.  And although our products aren’t perfect yet, we are striving to make them more so every day.

We do get inquiries about our Warranty, and we are sensitive to our consumers, so we will continue to evaluate our policies with your feedback as guidance.  However, the feedback we currently hear (in the online forums and through our customer calls) indicates that the warranty is not an issue, and that the minority of people complaining loudest about the one year limit have never even bought a scope from us- they just don’t like the policy because of what they “might” need in the future.  We have troops taking our equipment into harm’s way overseas and swear by them- we couldn’t sleep easily at night if we knew we gave them gear we had no confidence in.

If you feel we should offer something different, please let us know your thoughts.  To view the current Warranty Policy, please visit our Terms page on the Horus website.
