Thread: new scope on a modest (low) budget

Just a little extra.
I have also inherited a late 1960's Hertal & Reusss 2.75x 26.5 Post and Rail.

It was starting to get a little cloudy so I sent it back to NickelAG who now own the H & R brand. for aprox $400 they stripped it, cleaned and reset the recital, polished and re coated the lenses, assembled tested and returned. On the outside it still looks like a 50 year old scope that spend a week in a river but optically it is still better than my Nickon's at dusk and the reticale is crisper in low light.
So seriously consider looking at some of the 20-30 year old euro scopes for sale on Ebay. A number have been reconditioned and are a like new.
