    Rifle scope repairs

    Anyone have contact details of a company that does basic scope repairs in NZ? Got an older Docter scope I'd like to have cleaned and gas purged. Cheers

    He wasn't fully retired or had kicked the bucket late last year when I was talking to him about a scope I sent...
    Worth a try:

    Andrew Rackstraw in Upper Hutt fixes scopes.
    Email: rackstraw@paradise.net.nz,
    Ph (04) 970 3707.

    No one is as old as those who have outlived enthusiasm...
