Thread: Worth repairing this scope?

Reticle element is usually a ring that screws into the back end of the scope and locked there with a little thread locker. They sometimes come loose and rotate out from recoil. Fixed 1 a few weeks ago by removing eye bell and simply turning the element straight again and applying small amount of thread locker. Was a cheap scope so wasn't worried about the re gassing, just did it quickly in a clean, dry environment. Worked perfect. Burris 'forever' warranty is great- have had 2 older scopes replaced with new (through Beretta nz). Also when dealing direct with burris, sent a scope to them for repair, they sent me an email saying the scope was bent (they don't repair or replace in that case) but they sent me their 'bent scope price list' and I was able to buy a really nice replacement at a excellent price. They were great to deal with. Even back a few years ago sending the scope to the US was expensive! Getting scopes repaired in NZ is almost a thing of the past- Rackstraw Instruments may still do it, shame really as this repair would be a 10 min job for someone with the right gear/skills.
