Ah so....That sounds right. Good call.
 
Wonder if anybody has ever tried to get a Nifurb fixed after 90 days?

Not sure what is meant by "they just charge you for it, no biggie"
To me that is the same as you have no warranty if you have to pay for any repairs.  Am I missing something?  I've been looking elsewhere for a new one as it appears that a Nifurb would only have a 90 day warranty.  I could be missing it but I couldn't find out where I could email this question to the Sample List or SWFA.  Any clues other than to call them?

Well I got confirmation from Nikon that a factory refurbished scope does only have a 90-day warranty that is not tranferrable.  Thus, after 90-days, you're on your own.  Just as many had speculated on this thread!

I apologize I didn't receive the first follow-up question. Factory refurbished scopes come with a 90-day refurbished warranty that is not transferable.
 
Thanks for using Nikon products!

The sad part is that defeats some of the purpose of a "Full Warranty".

Thanks for the feedback from Nikon, COLO.

I'd still get the Nifurb, (and did) Wink if I found a deal on one on the SL.
