I have a great old BalVar 8 that is in need of reticle repair. Where can I send it? I didn't know where else to post for help.

Dr. Duc, Bausch and Lomb and Bushnell are the same company now. I would assume you could send it to the Bushnell repair depot for repair. Their address is

Bushnell Performance Optics
Attention: Repair Department
8500 Marshall Drive
Lenexa, KS 66214.

For shipping instructions see the Bushnell web site. www.bushnell.com

Dr Duc, you might want to try WWW.SCOPEDOT.COM as well.

------------------

Bushnell was very sympathetic. Ackerman and Lee don't do old scopes and I couldn't get Harry Gibbs. Anybody know anyplace else?

I have an old Redfield in the shop now with ABO in Miami. I've never dealt with them before so I cannot vouch for them yet.

If they can't fix it they might point you to someone. www.abousainc.com

Good luck

Somewhere I have an address for a company called PARSONS that does/did scope repair maybe someone else has heard of them, I will look for the address when I get back to the shop on monday, and will post if I find it.

Parsons Scope Service
2213 Smith Road
PO Box 192
Ross, OH 45061

513-867-0820

Their brochure says they specialize in vintage scopes. My only experience with them has been finding Lyman Tru-Lock mounts and 26mm rings, that was done promptly and courteously.

If Elmer didn't say it, it probably ain't true.
