Took the old Stevens 416 out of the cabinet the other day, and found the vertical wire broken on its 6x Unertl RF. Can and have searched the web for a shop, but looking for a recommendation based personal experience before I pick up the phone. Thanks!

You might try the Weaver Scope Repair service. I have had nothing but good luck with them over the years, and they fix alot of vintage glass, not just Weavers.

 

[Bill Smith]

Thanks. I'll add them to my list to contact.

I would check with Parsons Scope Service, they strictly work on vintage scopes, I am sure they would be able to fix it for you....

You can also try TK LEE, they will install a new reticle in most any vintage scope....

If neither of them work out, I would contact Bill Ackerman owner/operator of Optical Services Co. and see if he is still doing work..... [email protected]


All of the above are very well respected companies/people in the vintage scope market, as well as reticle change outs for silhouette shooters etc.....

Thanks to both of you. Nice to have the contact info in a single document, that will definitely get archived.

The company did not close. It is now a subsidiary of 21st Century Technologies Inc

Yes, but it has nothing to do with the old company.......I don't believe they service, nor have any parts for the old scopes.....
