Repair Redield scope
Anyone know where I might get an older (approx 25 years) Redfield Widefield 4x scope repaired? The lenses became cloudy inside, after returning from a hunt in northern Canada, where it was subjected to extreme cold (-30 F) and rough ride in a case on a snow sled. I assume the cold got to the o-ring seal somehow. I'd like to keep it and get it fixed if possible.

American Redfield's had a lifetime warranty I believe. The company NAME only was bought by BLOUNT corporation so new Redfields are actually just cheap Simmons scopes.
I just sent two 3x9 widefields to a company called ABO(USA) in Miami. They are doing the warranty work now. Check their website. They have you send in the scope with a check for $26.00 for s/h. Both of mine had broken reticles and one had a coating on the lens.
Keep in touch and I'll let you know how it goes.

ABO isn't fast, but their work is excellent. 0 -
The Florida contact is recommended by Redfield, and I believe it is an individual (very competent) who usually is far behind. I had the same problem and Redfield finally gave me an offer of 50% off of any of their 3 lines of products. The top line now is Weaver and I put on a top line 3 x 10 and the clarity is excellent. I honestly cannot see difference between it an my Leopolds or Burris scopes. The main difference is the warranty, which is owner lifetime instead of lifetime. I do not intent to get rid of it, so I could care less. Lifetime doesnt mean much if they go out of business like Redfield did. I give them credit for giving the 50% deal on scopes they no longer are bound to. 0 -
Had real bad experience with abo. Have since done business only with Mike Sexton and can't believe how good he is. His # is 918-445-2286 or 918-521-7736 0 -
Mike Sexton rebuilt my 25 year old Redfield 4-12 AO. He did a great job.

Thanks for the leads! Just curious about the disappointment with abo -- was it a matter of a long wait, or a poor job done? I'm not in a hurry, but I would like a nice clear scope again. In any event, I can call and look around at a couple of the suggested sources for repairs. 0
