Mars MT1000 Warranty???

Mine came from China. It was in PA in 7 days and I ordered it Weds. evening before Thanksgiving. It shipped out via UPS 12/1 and was delivered 12/3!
 
The scope I received has been issue free so far and all of the features are tested and operational.
A member here posted in another MT1000 thread that they had a Zero wandering and Ballistic comp issues with their scope from the get go.
That's really the only issues I've read about so far.
I'll test the two scopes that were backordered when they arrive later this week.

Thanks Shoots100 I looking forward to hearing how it goes.

On the scopes you got directly from One Leaf, where did they ship from? The scopes on their website are $100 cheaper right now.

Mine shipped from China. Took about 10 days to get here today. They cited high demand as the reason for delay. The QD mount I wanted looks good feels solid with two locking levers. I received the 50 lens installed with the 35 in the box. It was in Anchorage at 1:30 pm yesterday and at my door in NC this afternoon.

Shoots, I believe it was you that said you tried a protected battery and it fit. I tried one from my ST6 today and the screw cap would not bottom out on the MT1000. Thinkin the O ring may not seal and a possible way for moisture to get in. It almost seated but about a fingernail from total closed. Just FYI
 
18650 lengths are all over the place. Different protection circuits can add slightly different lengths. And the 18650’s with the micro usb ports built in add more yet.

The cold weather Liion protected fits with the cap screwed in all the way, but the Epoch and Sanyo cored 18650's fit like your's.
Even though the cap won't screw in all the way, I like that the protected batteries will fit and power the scope if needed.
My RIX S2 scope only fits flat top batteries.
I will use molicell 096 flat top batteries in my MT1000, as the scope came with a oneleaf flat top battery.

Ive been using the oneleaf for over a year now, and ive personally used the warranty (first optic i received had a small "burn" on thr screen)

Its a great optic and i pick it over my dnt. Agm, and rix any time I walk out the door.

I liked it so much and always spoke about them any chance I had, they reached out to me about 6 months ago after seeing some of my footage and comments and asked me to do R&D for left handed bolt guns. As the battery compartment catches the bolt on a lefty rifle. After that they asked me to become an affiliate to get credit for talking to guys.

Long story short, I can answer just about any question about the optic and if you decide to order promo code "rockorsomething" takes 5% off at checkout

Kwarw1, I will attempt an answer for some of your questions. First, I'm not a representative of/for Mars OneLeaf and was not sent a scope to test. Nor have I tried to get a sponsorship to sell the product for a percentage. I used my own money to purchase the Mars MT1000 back during a 4th of July sale on Amazon. I cannot answer your question on those who have warranty/repair issues and purchased from Hong Kong. I don't know what the shipping rates would be there. I also don't know of anyone who has had a warranty issue, but surely there must be some after this length of time. I purchased from Amazon because I knew I would have 30 days to send it back should it turn out to be junk even though the reviews were good, almost too good in fact. I was told by the rep. who works for Akk (their Amazon Online Store) that should I have warranty/repair work all I would have to do is send it to her and she would take care of the rest.

So, I have explained my thinking in the 30-day return to Amazon and the risk involved for $1,729 to my door. Originally, I wanted the scope as a back-up to my Super Yoter which was going out of warranty in Oct. 25. The Super Yoter is now my back-up scope. Part of my figuring was that I invested $4,500 in the Super Yoter, a very good scope, and the MT1000 was about 1/3 that price. So, I had nothing to lose provided the scope was at least decent for a 30-day test. I found it to be at least as good as the Super Yoter with more features. The LRF and Ballistics Calculator are nice additions, but I'm not likely to use them much. The warranty is only 3 years, but that was also the case when I purchased the Super Yoter for 3 times more money. Four year and five-year warranties are pretty new brought about when I-Ray entered the market.

Perhaps Mars has a different marketing strategy. They are eliminating the mark-up for those companies reselling their scopes and can sell cheaper. Are they cheaply made and inferior components? I don't know. I suspect that one of three things will happen. 1) Mars will fold if warranty becomes their "Albatross", 2) Prices will be driven downward for all the big names as they find more customers turning to a scope that is on par with theirs for 1/3 or 1/4 the price. Part of marketing strategy for the big names could be to go toward the higher niche scopes offering 1280 sensors with 10Mk to justify the higher prices, 3) the 640 class scopes will become so cheap they will completely gobble up the 384 scope market and actually be available in stores like Walmart.

I have several friends who are long time posters here on PM who have purchased the MT1000, so far none of them have written to me wishing they had not gotten this scope. Of course that could change tomorrow. Only time will tell what happens on warranty issues. I'd love to hear from someone who has actually had to go this site through the process either with Mars in Hong Kong or Akk here in the US.

who has actually had to go through the process?
 
I had a POI issue and ask for a refund after they could not, after several attempts via emails, get it resolved. I had to pay shipping (~$70) to a California address and had the refund in PPal 3 days after sending them a pic of the UPS label. Can't ask for any better than that IMO. Would I buy again-yes but now am still using my Gen 1 Thermion which cost 2ce as much 4 yrs ago.
