Fix or buy new scope?
I have a Redfield 3X9X40 , and need a new duplex reticle and maybe one of the lenses. Does anyone know where I can get parts, or is it just best to pony up to a new copy, $165.00 scope? I can do the work myself if I can find the parts and maybe some instruction as to how to purge the scope/introduce nitrogen. Anything to save a buck. Thanks.

Its gonna cost you a minimum of a C-Note to get the one you have fixed...and for the Extra $65.00 You get a Years worth of Warranty...Thats worth the Money....and wondering if the Repair job is gonna come apart....Check with J&G Sales in Prescott, Arizona....They inhouse Sales on Scopes all the Time...They have a WEB Site and post it in Gunlist and Shotgun News............
Here's the email address and the Web Site Address...

Trash it out and buy a new scope. Even a Tasco or Bushnell (no insult intended here, fellas; just that Redfield was once a better scope) will come with a lifetime guarantee. 0 -
The new Redfield does not repair the older scopes, but several have posted here that they do have a trade in program, giving you a decent credit on your old scope toward a new one. Be worth contacting Redfield for details. That said I agree with Der Gebirgsjager on the lowered quality of the newer scopes.

Buy a New Scope : Technology usually moves forward, lenses are better, seals are better, unless it is collectable = Buy a new Scope. [;)]
