I have a Weaver 1.5-4.5 scope that I purchased here on the classifieds that needs repair. Upon recoil the image gets distorted and then returns to normal. Through this it still remains zeroed. Something is obviously loose and needs repair.

Does anyone know who can repair this scope, it is one of my favorites?

I hope this is the best sub-forum for this as I did not see one for optics only. Edit: I have found a couple of places with some searching but I would still like to have some recommendations from forum members.




Thanks, MAlcolm

I do not have a personal recommendation, however here are a couple of places I found when I was in a similar situation that seem to have a good reputation.

I don't need any scope repairs at the moment, but I've sure needed this info in the past. I nominate this for a sticky award!

The last I checked the Parson website was not active. Tried again today and the site came up.

Parsons site states they do NOT work on Weaver.

From their site.
