    Weaver warranty claim?

    Does anyone know if this is still possible or who I should contact about it? According to Weavers website they should have a lifetime warranty for the original owner and my Grandslam has fogged up today.

    My mate had a Burris do that. Some 20 years old plus. Had all the original paperwork and lifetime warranty. Burris supplied a new scope.

    Looks like they are history.I Have 3 steel body Weaver scopes and a modern one and always liked the old steel body versions.

    Weaver was absorbed into Vista about 2014-15, and thereafter fell under the Bushnell brand for warranty.

    Bushnell brand is owned by Ampro Sales in New Zealand.

    I have found the guys Ampro to be very very helpful so I would start there.

    Emailed Ampro and got a pretty quick reply letting me know another outfit, Nioa, are the agents for Weaver. Despite Bushnell owning Weaver, they are apparently still treated as separate entities for suppliers. I sent an email to Nioa this morning, yet to hear back.

    Failing that see if you can find the guy Rackshaw instruments I think he was called in Upper Hutt.
    He sorted a weaver scope out for me for a very reasonable price.
    Cheers

    One of the members here is in charge of that. Hopefully, he sees this post.
