Scope repair Northern NSW???

Post by makrand »

My rifle fell the other day and now my scope (a Gerholdt and Reuss 4-12) doesn't change windage Point of Impact corresponding to click inputs. It seems to be stuck to one side.

Does anyone know of a scope repairer in northern NSW?

There was a guy who used to work out of horselypark gunshop, but I have not successfully been able to get a hold of him..

You may have better luck than I..

my guess would be that you will need to send it back to the manufacturer or find a local distributor.

Rod Fielder at Mortdale. Phone 95802697 or 0407688844. He only works on "quality" optics and his work is first class. - Brad.

Thanks guys.

The next day it was miraculously working again so I have no idea what is going on.
But it's good to know about this in case it goes funky again.

+1 for Optical Restorers.

A club mate had his 20 year old Redfield target scope repaired/refurbished by Malcolm.
Reckons it is like a new one again.

FYI.
To make a repair to the objective lens retaining ring.
remove the optical system, clean and repair.
elevation/windage system overhauled/adjusted.
re-greased tube, nitrogen filled, adjusted for parallax
etc
3 month guarantee
$200.00 including postage.

Cheers
jt.
