Thread: Worth repairing this scope?

Way back in the early 90's I had an American client have a bit of a mishap in a large boulder field, and landed on his rifle with the scope on the bottom. The scope was a Burris, scope hit a rock on the front bell housing and bent it about 7-8mm out of line down towards the barrel. Didnt have opens, didnt have a spare scope. After a bit of thinking, I suggested we had nothing to lose, so used the head of an iceaxe to lever it off the barrel until it looked like it was in line. Then we sighted it in and about 8 shots later was shooting fine. The hunt continued successfully for another week. Tough scopes those Burris
