Rifle Scope Repairs,
« on: October 08, 2016, 09:33:06 PM »
Any one local that works on rifle scopes?

I have a Weatherby 2&1/2 X 10 rifle scope that needs some repairs.
The back end won't turn to raise or lower the power setting,
and i can't turn the adjustments to adjust the up & down or the Left to Right.

I tried to find someone to fix my boss's weatherby scope a while back and found this. Not sure if he ever did anything so no reviews.

For reticle wire contact Dan Stangarone via email at ds1911@verizon.net. Dan
sells wire in two diameters (0.0015” medium and 0.0005” fine). As of this
writing the price is $15.00 per 10 ft length, which should last the average shooter
several lifetimes or many attempts to get it right. Send him a self addressed
stamped envelope (SASE) for shipping. Dan says it’s annealed tungsten reticle
wire and is very strong. It shows up jet black and is easy to work with. If you’re
uncertain on the wire diameter, I suggest you go with the 0.0015”, but ask Dan for
his recommendation.

For standard or custom reticles, contact T. K. Lee Company (http://www.
scopedot.com), 1282 Branchwater Lane, Birmingham, AL 35216, (205) 913-5222,
info@Scopedot.com. The company can replace the reticle with a standard
crosshair or, as stated on their website, they can, “Replace the crosshairs in your
scope with a custom LEE DOT reticle, the quickest, most natural and instinctive
aiming reference there is. We can install a dot or dots in most scopes, sized and
spaced to your specifications.”

 Have you contacted Weatherby?

 Id think they would have a suggestion of where to send one of their products for repair. :dunno:

Funny.
I was just on Smith Road in Ross Ohio last week.
