I have a 4x Leupold Mountaineer scope that is pretty much worn white. I'd like to look into getting it refurbished. Are there any suggestions as to who does this type of work?

We do NOT work on Tasco, Simmons, Bushnell or any Japanese-made scope. We do NOT work on Weaver, Leupold or Redfield.

Maybe a misprint. I'll give them a call Monday.

I have a very old Kahles that I sent to the Leupold recommended place for a refinish on the tube. I got back a very poor flat black paint job. I need somebody to do a redo. The optics are wonderful.
Sorry for hijacking your thread.

* Complete Reblue - for steel tubes & mounts. Base price $275.00 includes clean & service.

* Vintage Scope Restoration - Malcolm and other 19th century scopes. Price dependent on work required.

We have acquired the last of Lyman Products Corporation's inventory of parts and tooling. This enables us to do almost any repair on these fine vintage scopes (American-made only).

Instruction Manuals (photocopies) - $5.00

Recoil spring assemblies for 3/4" tubes - $40.00 installed

**Prices are base prices only. Certain models are subject to added fees.

Estimates
After we examine your repair item, we will send an estimate of cost with an approximate turn-around time. If you decide not to have your item repaired, there is a minimum charge of $20.00 which includes return shipping & handling. If you provide your email address, we will email your estimate.


Sounds like they will work on the old Lymans that were made in USA (Target Spot, Alaskan, Challengr, All-American. Also most others like Unertl, Savage, Winchester, Malcolm, etc. But the only German variety they'll work on are the Weatherbys?? The only Weatherby scope I ever owned was made in Japan-guess they won't work on that one!

This outfit doesn't sound very versatile. I guess the only parts they can make are for Lymans....
