    Swarovski turret clips

    Recently I bought a second had Swarovski Z3 with ballistic turret... last weekend at the range I found out that the turret has both clips broken.
    I wanted to zero the scope and since i had 10moa rail on my gun, I had to remove the zeroing cap. To my surprise the whole thing came of including the zero return ring.
    Quickly picked up all parts and run home to do some internet research to figure out what happened, since this is my first Swaro and had no experience with it.
    So far what I found on the net, the best would be to send the scope to Austria directly to Swarovski.
    Anybody has experience what would it take to get the scope repaired?

    yep, it was. Since this is my first Swaro, couldn't tell if anything wrong with it... how much does the fixing costs?

    I had the same thing. Mine went back through H&F Petone and there was no charge, not even freight. Bought it off the forum so it was pretty good of H&F.
    Took about 8 weeks.

    Send an email to the nz agent/rep, jp.klaus@swarovski.com In my swaro dealings with scopes, and swaro scope related problems he has been excellent. He'll point you in the right direction.

    Thanks for the contact, will try him first. Unfortunately the scope didn't come with box or receipt so don't know where to take it...

    They fixed mine for free but it's just the time it takes is a piss off.
    I would go back to seller, I would say someone has tried to remove the zero stop and broke them.
    My z5 was the same but just 1 broken.

    Same with mine. Didn't know where it came from, but H&F still took it.
