I have a Super Sniper 10X Mil Dot scope that I purchased used off of EE here a couple of years ago. Scope has worked well but the last time I had it to the range on my M14 (Norinco), the windage 'click' failed. I can adjust for windage - I think I can anyway, but there is no 1/4 mil click. Vertical adjustment seems to work fine.

The scope is used, I'm good with that. It worked for several years, so this is not the seller's fault. Now I'd like to get it fixed but since the scope is in Canada (and I have no idea or evidence how the previous owner got it out of the US, nor do I care). I cannot easily ship it back to the US for service.

So does anyone out there in CGN world know of a rifle scope repair facility here in Canada I could contact to see if they'd have a go at it?

If I can't find someone, I'll just relegate the scope to my son's 10/22 (yep overkill but it'll look cool) and pick up a new Sightron from Peter Dobson over at Hirsch Precision (one of my two gun pushers of choice; the other is Sean at Freedom Ventures).

Those are distributed by SWFA out of Texas I believe. I'd give them a call, swfa-ss.com for website.

If we're looking at the same scope, it's $800 US new, so it very well may be worth getting fixed and perhaps overkill for a kids 10-22. :D.

SWFA won't handle it because of the cross border issues. They suggested Bushnell and I still have to give them a call. Can't get a new one across the border either.

I figured since I'd be paying for the repair anyway, it would make sense to see if anyone here knew of any good shops here in Canada, just to open up my odds. Doesn't hurt to get a few quotes or at least more than one possible repair shop.
 
Just in case someone really wants an update, here it is:

Trace said they wouldn't have the parts and couldn't fix it.
Bushnell, as suggested by the OEM, wouldn't touch it because it is not 'one of their scopes".

The good news is I think I've figured it out. The turret knob has three set screws that attach the knob to the adjustment shaft inside. It looks like the set screws had backed out so the knob wasn't transferring any torque/rotation to the adjustment shaft. I've tightened up the set screws and it now sounds/feels right. I'll have to try it at the range to confirm but I might have my solution.
