    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.

    I'm not sure if he is still doing scopes or not, my father in law helps him out from time to time doing speedo repairs
