Is there someone in Canada that refinishes scopes? I have a Leupold that could use a sprucing up and would like to change it from gloss to matte. It also has the A/O and I would like the numbering done in the gold like factory so you can see it.

Thanks,
 
Rob , It may be hard to get the gold lettering done unless the numbers are "Stamped " into the scope. If you want a great do it yourself product for scopes try durcoat from Lauers in WI. You dont need to bake the product and it is fairly durable. You can spray it over the scope and you dont have to sand blast it to make it adhere. Another product that you dont have to bake would be "Alumnihide II " from Brownells. It is also a great product that is easy to use. To have it re anodized is very hard expensive and I dont know if it can be done after the factory seals the glass in the scope. If you did it yourself, it would only cost around $30.00 US . Hope this helps, Jerod

Well, if you don't whant to pay 300000$ in shipping, just use the Armacoat from a canadian manufacture, it is quite the same as Duracoat, cost less and get more.

I have done a few complete scope with Armacoat and it os AWESOME

Just my 2c

Something to think about...

...does painting constitute unauthorized work, thus voiding your lifetime warranty?

Taken from leupold site:
There is only one way to void the Leupold Full Lifetime Guarantee: unfortunately, we cannot honor the guarantee of scopes that have been disassembled, modified, or worked on by anyone not authorized by Leupold.

Chech out Leupold's web site, they can custom up & refinish your scope, even gold plated. Korth Agency in Okotoks, Alberta in the Leupold -Canada warranty/customer service depot. The link is below for you to the Custom Shop.

A buddy is getting a VX3 6.5-20x40 painted red/black like Spiderman (his son loves Spiderman) to match his custom 10/22 in 17 Mach 2. Here is a pic identical to his rifle.

I'm looking at doing up a predator rifle with a Leupold Vari-X III 6.5-20x40, and sending the rifle, scope rings & bases to be camo-dipped in Realtree Hardwoods-Winter pattern.
 
We refinish scopes, I have seen alot of leupold come through,here are some pics to look at. The first one was a M3 tactical on a HS Precision rifle and the second a rem700. Also Otokiak has some pics of a leupold we did on olive green to match his SIG rifle.
