Cheers Bobbo, is this a shop you've used before (or anyone else reading this thread)? they don't seem to be listing hunting telescopic sights in their list of optics... best wishes, Finman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagged 77 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 The official UK importers are (or were, I don't know if its changed) JJ Vickers. However my experience on a faulty Elite scope was awful and they wouldn't honour the Bushnell lifetime warranty despite the fact the scope was only 3 months old. I ended up dealing direct with the US and they sent me a new scope and told me to chuck the old one in the bin - absolutely fantastic customer service. You can try Vickers, if you get no joy go direct to the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you get it sorted out anyway. ATB Bobbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyH Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I too thought the UK agent was still Vickers - and I too had little luck dealing with them quite a few years ago, when my original Bushnell Elite laser finder packed up. Neither did I have any success at dealing with Bushnell in the States. My laser was only a couple of years old, but the best offer I got from Vickers was to allow me a discount on buying a new one! I declined - and decided never to buy another Bushnell laser.... These days I use Leica, whose service and tech support both here and in Germany are excellent.

Finman Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Hi guys, an update: I have had little luck with the usual messages through the UK Bushnell importers. But, I was at Newark Shooting show when I spotted the Bushnell stall . I approached them, explained my problem and my course of action till then. A very helpful and nice young lady offered to assist me and she gave me her email at Vickers, for me to forward all correspondence, which I did the following day. A gentleman from the Bushnell repair centre in Kent then emailed me with an address where to send the scope. I sent it and 3 weeks later it was back repaired. Can't complain... Can't help thinking though that this was far from straight forward... anyway, hope the above clears up any confusion and concludes the matter, best wishes, Finman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagged 77 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Glad you got sorted Finman, I noticed they had a stand at Newark. After my dealings with Vickers I was put off buying another Bushnell product for a long time. I finally relented and bought the excellent Arc 1600 Bino rangefinders - no point in cutting my own nose off to spite my face just because of a lousy dealer... Any issues and I'll let the retail outlet I purchased from sort it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
