Most of my purchases are 'new' vs 'refurbished', but every so often I will give in to the Gods of refurbished bargains.
It's not often and I usually make out just fine. I did just have a fail on a refurb optic, though.
It is a Sight Mark ultra-shot-plus-red-dot that I got from Optics Planet in July of last year.
Great features and reviews. Their new items carry a lifetime warranty while their refurbs carry only a year.
I hardly used mine since getting it, but I liked it a lot. I did notice that I had to re-zero it my last two trips to the range and that the reticles were starting to get a halo effect.
Anyway. I returned it this morning. Lesson learned. I am curious as to how they will handle this since I know longer see refurbs offered at Optics Planet.
Anyone else that rolls the dice when it comes to refurbs? Good luck or bad?
