Salvage foggy scope?
« on: August 17, 2011, 08:43:27 PM »
I have an old bushnell scope that is fogged up. Is there anything that I can salvage out of it that might be useful.

No I don't think so. If it was a Leupold you could send it in and they'd fix it or send you new one. But a Bushnell? What model is it?

Maybe the rings...

I don't know how like 10-15 years? Really no clue. It is a banner 4x32. I bought a used 30-06 gamemaster 760 because it was cheap. That scope fogged up while I was hunting and I had to get a new scope from a local sports store were I was hunting. :bash: I am keeping the rings. But could I make something cool out of the lenses or somrthin

 :chuckle: Sounds good. I will tell you how it works out. Maybe Cabela's will give me some kind of trade in for it.

I had a similar 4x bushnell drop a reticle on me a few years back. We contacted bushnell and they said to send it in and they would estimate a cost for fixing it. I wouldnt do it though, might as well save that money for nicer scope.
"Right now, I am thinking that If my grandmother was here, she would be lecturing me about how there are poor people in Africa, that would just love to have a Ruger, I would just say "Great, granny, lets just ship all the Rugers to Africa!"

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

Call Bushnell, they will repair or replace it for you free of charge.  Their waranty is great.  Last year A Bushnell scope that my Grandfather baught about 35 years ago foged up.  We sent it in and now have a brand new scope.  Some people rag on bushnel, but they have worked well for us for alot of years.
There's a reason they call it hunting, not killing.
