what to do with a paralax issue scope?

[regulate34]

So I have a weaver K6 (fixed 6 power). Turns out it has a parallax issue. Had it on my 30-06. my handload were getting .75-1" 100yrds groups. Pretty happy with that from a old parkerhale. I step out to 200yrds and groups opened up to 7+ inches. After some discussion on here. you guys said to try a different scope. Finaly pulled my VX3 2.5-8 off my 375 ruger. put it on the 30-06 ,went and sighted it in. stepped out to 200yrds and boom 2.25" groups.

After all that story. What should I do with a 6x scope that shoots great under 150yrds?

Is it worth getting fixed? Guess I should phone and get a estimate.
Do they have a warranty like leupold. ?

Toss it on a rimfire?

Thought about that. Put it on my 22lr for gophers this spring.

Won't hurt to get an estimate imo. Good 6x scopes of affordable means are not as common anymore it seems.

You could just let it die with dignity. They are old scopes, and have had their day.

There is no warranty on an old Weaver made in the U.S.A., that died with the company when the name was sold. The current Weavers are guaranteed for life but only to the original retail purchaser, not transferable like Leupolds. But yes, call Trace and get an estimate, it's worth the cost of a phone call and if you have the work done, it will be done right.

just make sure you are looking through the centre of the exit pupil of the scope and you can forget parallax at any range....
