Thread: Weaver warranty claim?

The guy is half embalmed...would definitely be pushing into his 90's by now.
He seems to have lost enthusiasm/motivation with scope repairs but still loves his motorbikes.
He might be worth a call, but wasn't interested in fixing my scope when I contacted him.

Andrew Rackstraw in Upper Hutt.
Ph (04) 970 3707.

Does anybody know who the member is on here? Haven't heard back yet and cant afford to replace the scope unless I get some warranty help

I don't fancy your chances of getting warranty service on a Weaver. However here is your contact:

Ive spoken to a couple of people who have been recently paid out for warrenty claims on Weavers in the last couple of weeks, so unless you have some experience to share, I'll remain optimistic for now

@LMcNab - so how did it go with Nioa?

They have contacted Bushnell for me, waiting to hear back. I will chase them up later this week if no news.

Any luck getting the weaver repaired, been thinking about pulling mine apart myself

@LMcNab

Any updates?

Bushnell requested all my details from Nioa, and apparently intend to contact me. It seems to be moving forward, just veeeeerrrrryyyy sllloooooowwwwwly.

There used to be a gent in Auckland that repaired optical gear, but I doubt he is still in the business. I feel that with the issues sending the things away that there is an opening in NZ in this line of work.

I have dodgied it up in the past with a fogged scope by sealing it into a bag with rice and dessicant and vac packing it for a while then setting up a purge bag arrangement attached to an argon cylinder (welding shield gas). Vac purging the bag with the bits in it, then filling the bag with argon and reassembling the scope. Worked but you are relying on the seals being good etc which is where the dodgy part comes in. If a seal component is dodgy the thing will fog again fairly quickly.

Weaver Scopes don't exist anymore guys....

The warranty's are only for the original owner etc.
