Swift Optics

It looks like Swift optics is no more, shame it was an 80 year old company. I thought I was all set with there lifetime warranty.
I also thought I was all set with my Redfield scopes lifetime marketing. "Fool Me Twice" I always wondered how Leupold bought the name and the rights but did not have to honour any of the warranty's. Anyways I have a few scopes that need work "they won't hold zero"
is there an independent shop that can fix them or is there instuctions somewhere I could follow to try and fix them IE: Youtube Ect.

Thanks

Thanks
Same with Nikon I found out a few years ago
I had a Nice Nikon 4-16 that had such bright glass
reticle broke very slightly, not enough to matter much, just bugged me
sent it in for their "Lifetime" warranty
didnt hear back for months
---
finally contacted them again
Hows my scope going
Oh yeah, we dont make scopes no more so cannot repair it
Ok, can you send me my scope back then?
So sorry we trashed it because it was broken
---
SMH!!!
after months of back and forth they finally gave me some in store credit
but since they dont make scopes, what good does it do?
I finally settled on a camera of theirs.

Long story short
Lifetime warranty don't mean squat to me
Quality does

Tommy Boy: "I could shit in a box and warranty it for ya, but all you're getting still is a warrantied box of shit"
 
Someone ask are you sure well I tried calling them, faxing them, and emailing them, no answer, no responds, and the email bounced back, they even closed there outlet store "the Sports Monkey" the websight is still up but you can't order or click on anything. I even call a place who is an autherised repair centre for there binoculars, and they were telling me they can't get anything from them either a'parts or a return call. And wish they would remove there name from there list so they would stop getting so many calls. So no I don't have anything official or noterised so without going out on a limb It would be safe to say they are now Gone. I am very distraught over this they were way to much money to put them on a shelf and forget about them, they are there top model with good glass target dot and side focus, I have several of them, talk about a sinking feeling Damn.
