I bought a Sig 2000 laser rangefinder, apparently over 5 yrs ago, and I bought it thinking Sig built quality stuff, reviews on them were great, and I wanted a decent unit for archery and rifle. Fast forward to this year, and I pull it out for archery season, and the display when I look thru it is very dim. Thought maybe the battery was shot as it is the original, but I doubt I've shot a hundred distances with it, maybe no more than 50? So I get a new battery, and I now have no display at all. I call Sig after looking at the manual and seeing theres an unlimited lifetime warranty. Sig rep says the warranty is only on the non-electrical parts, and he's pretty sure its an electrical problem. I thought maybe I turned the dimmer settings down unknowingly, maybe? He doesnt think so, and doesnt offer a way to try it out. I dont see a way to do so via the manual, and am currently researching the subject via the www. He wants me to send it in, and if they find it to be the electronics, they'll offer me a demo 1800 unit for just under $200 as a peace offering. They've already sent me a shipping label to send it in.
Anybody have any history on these units and Sig warranties in general? There's a part of me that quite p****d that a unit I paid hundreds for and is not used much, in a competitive market, from a supposed quality company covers things this way. Then again, maybe I'm too old fashioned and wanting too much from my stuff?
