Title: scope repairs?
Post by: bankwalker on June 26, 2008, 08:50:37 PM: is there anyone who repairs crosshairs?

i was just cleaning up my scope and took the lenses off the clean the inside of them, idk why they were as dirty as they were.

but i accidently jammed my finger down into the scope when i picked it up off my lap and totaly destroyed my crosshairs :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:

...so can i get those fixed? replaced?

or do i actually HAVE to buy a new scope...i wanted a new one anyway.

buy a new scope.

Leu and Vortex will... no questions asked. I've actually had decent (not fast) service from Bushnell. Not sure if they'd fix it or not. Regardless of brand.... send it in w/ a sob story. It's worthless to you as it is. Worst case they say they won't fix it and you're out 5 bucks shippping.
