Help - where can I send two old scopes for service?

[Sly Old Fox]

I've had a 4.5 x 1.5 one inch Burris for many years, having bought it used from a "friend." It never worked right as the X hairs would not move. I set it aside thinking that I had screwed up. Well, I tried it again forgetting where I got it. No joy, same old problem. Burris was a quality scope maker. Loon past any warrantee. still would like to have it fixed.

The other scope is a Bushnell Sport View, 1.5 X 4.5, an inexpensive scope which also can no longer used because the X hairs will not move.

So, any suggestions as to who in Canada could perhaps look t them?

Thanks

Neither optic is worth the effort, best to bin them and buy new.

Here you go Sensitive Old Fella..........
Give them a call and see what they can do for you.
I hope it works out as I have found them very reasonable.
They have a few clauses they may use to try on fixing the
one scope that is dear to you.
Just need to whisper the right words.

[Why not?]

One quick question: How did you determine that the reticule would not move?

I have a Redfield that needs some attention and made a somewhat similar inquiry about scope repairs through a local guy that deals in scopes at local gun shows. I haven't sent it in yet but the following contact info is what he gave me as possible solution.

Yes, they rebuilt a Weaver K-10 for me

How much does it cost from those fellas for a service?

I had an old Denver Redfield 4x with a broken reticle repaired by them, I think it was about $60. Took a few months.

Hey guys. Just to let you know, Trace Scope Repair is no longer at the New Norway address. They have moved to 8-20 Panatella Blvd. NW Calgary, Alberta. T3KOA1. P.O. Box 33009. Phone 403-295-1534. Reason I know this is, I just got a couple parts from them for my old Weaver KV scope just this week. Ask for Phil. Great guy. He will help you out.

So $60 for the repair, plus $15 each way for shipping brings a guy to $90 worth of work for a $140 scope, that has already failed once. Sounds like a good investment.

Yeah, it was. It belonged to a neighbour that passed away, he gave it to me years ago. It suits my Marlin 444P perfectly.

Next time I'l be sure to ask your permission on what I can spend my money. Until then, GFY.

I never said you needed my permission. From a logical and financial standpoint, fixing those pieces of Sh!t is dumb, but its your money to waste so drive on.

TDC, that is your third post to that point... I believe your opinion has been well noted.

Apparently not as the op felt the need to name call. If its sentimental then spend the coin. I only post logical answers and his solution isn't.
