Unertl or Parsons scope repair recommendations?

[brian1]

I have a Unertl scope that needs a mount repair. Do any of you have any recommendations for a good place for that? Have any of you used Parsons Scope Service in Ohio?

Might google them, I thought they are still around but it appears not. Check out the Hilux guys..

yes, Unertl is long gone. I was hoping to find people with experience getting them repaired and/or people with experience dealing with Parsons. I've been in contact with Parsons, and they can do it. I just wanted to see if there are other options and, in particular, I wanted to see what people's experiences were with dealing with Parsons.

I don't know about Parsons but I had good luck with Iron Sight Inc. They told me up front it would be a long wait and it was almost a year. Mine was an old claw mounted scope for a drilling. Came back nice and clear for 110.00 bucks. Would have been very hard and expensive to replace the scope so for me it was worth the wait.

Absolutely fascinating article about the Unertl scope company, straight from the horse's mouth. Thanks for posting it. I've saved it to my PC for posterity, and I made it a clickable link above.

I wrote Iron Sight & asked them if they can fix the mounts. I'll also try the Steve Earle Products. Thanks.

I have a Parsons scope which is as good as Unerti and have used Parsons repair for 3 different Unerti scopes over the years.

Serendipitous reply - Back in October, I contacted Outback Arms (Steve Earle Products), who couldn't do it, but recommended Bob Seipp in NJ. I worked with Bob and tomorrow I'm supposed to take delivery on my repaired mounts.
