Scope repairs - anyone know where to get repairs done?

[acormack]

Evening everyone

I have a second hand Tasco Titan 3-12 x 52 IR scope that I picked up (one of the older good Japanese ones) recently. It has a mark on the lense that shows up when the IR is illuminated and was thinking about getting it repaired, does anyone know where I could get it serviced / repaired and what it might cost (ballpark figure).

Other than the mark on the lense the scope is in really good condition plus it's a 30mm tube as well and it has a quality feel to it. I only paid £50 for the scope so thought if I could get it repaired for a reasonable figure it would be financially viable or am I barking up the wrong tree? Let me know your thoughts....

Regards
Alan

Hi

I can only recommend Paul Burke in Birmingham - I cant seem to find the direct link but Google will throw it up.

Thanks Loki, after posting I started trawling through the forums and his name kept on coming up. Anyone here had work done by him and how did you rate it..??

Cheers

FIRST CLASS: Had the turrets repaired on a Simmons 1.5 air rifle scope, did'nt think it was worth the trouble. Received it back, works a treat now and at small cost.

The details you require are: Paul Burke tel: 0121 788 1050. He is a true gent, he repaired one of my scopes, and he is very very reasonable

good luck

He is excellent and did a superb job sorting out the focus on a big PA scope for me. Quick and very reasonable price.

Last of a line, he is a retired gun smith
