Busted my Meopta -can it be saved?
Hi,
I was standhunting this evening -shot a small whitetail buck- and when I went to fetch my car I slipped on the icy road...I landed before my rifle did. So now the tube is dented and I can´t move the magnification ring...

How serious is this?

You will probably need to send it to Meopta for repairs.I do not know what thier stance on scopes that are damaged by the Hunter.I would contact them and ask. Sisu Big Grin

Olbiker: Sisu -are you one of us? ´Cause that´s not a word typically used in the US of A!

There seems to be a guy here in Finland who is an accredited Meopta serviceman so he can take a first look at the damage...
