Redfield 5-Star question

[wcat]

Hi, a friend of mine have an old (about 15 yrs he said) Redfield 5-Star 3-9x40 scope on his 270. Last year during hunting season, he experienced fogging on the inside. When Redfield sold those scopes a long time ago, they had lifetime warranty.
My question is, anyone know if these older scopes are covered by Korth since they bought the Redfield name?
Thanks!

REDFIELD PRODUCTS MADE BEFORE 2010

When Leupold & Stevens, Inc.® purchased Redfield in April 2008, it did not acquire the capability to repair Redfield products manufactured prior to this purchase. The repair tooling and parts were purchased years ago by other repair services. Leupold & Stevens, Inc. will service its manufactured Redfield product (manufactured from 2010 forward) in accordance with its published warranty.

At this time, should a non-Leupold & Stevens, Inc. Redfield product require service, we suggest contacting Iron Sight, Inc. (918) 445-2001. This contact is provided for information purposes only, as Iron Sight Inc. is not affiliated with Leupold & Stevens Inc. They should be contacted directly for all information regarding repair, service and associated charges.

No.

Thanks for the replies, looks like it's a no-go.
I sent Korth an email asking them about this anyway.

There's an outfit in Florida that was repairing them as well, for quite a while. Forget the name off the top of my head though. - dan

However, they are slow as molasses in January.

Without getting into the usual mumbo-jumbo about legalities on shipping scopes from/to the USA, will either of these 2 companies accept scopes from Canada and subsequently return them repaired?

I have an old 4x Redfield with a broken reticle, always liked that scope.

EDIT: sent them an e-mail, so we'll see.

I used the one in Florida years ago and they were ok, took a couple months to get it back though. That was before the big Snowback terrorist threat though. - dan
