Unertl Scope Repair

edited June 2016 in Ask the Experts
I would like to get my Unertl scope repaired by replacing the objective lens housing. It has corrosion on the housing. I also have an older Redfield rifle scope that will not hold zero. Do you have any suggestions for repair?

    I just aquired an excellent Unertl target scope. I can't get the cross hairs level. Either I have done something wrong when I installed it, or there is something wrong with inside the scope.Does anyone know of someone that can do repairs on this fine old scope..?email- - - oofus@alaska.netThanks much,Bob[This message has been edited by oofus (edited 10-12-2001).]Wow!! - Thanks for the information.

    I have a 24X Unertl scope that has issues with the parallax adjustment. I was told there is an outfit in Oregon that repairs them. No banana, I can find nothing. The only folks I can find that repair them is Parsons Scope Service, 1563 Compton, Cincinnati, Ohio 45231.
    Two questions:
    Has anyone used this company, and with what results?
    Is there a repair facility in the Northwest that I haven't found?
    Thanks for looking.
    W.D.

    The original Mr Parsons passed away several years ago.
    His son has kept the shop open but I have no reports on him.
    I need to try again, I have one that needs work, too.

    Dan submitted the following: "I stick to replacing crosshair wires on ONLY Unertl & Lyman & * external adjustment scopes and the Weaver 330 and M73B1 sniper scopes as well. No cleaning or other repairs. Turnaround time is immediate, as I usually get the scopes fixed and back in the next day's mail. No 6 or 8 month wait...Price for crosshair wire replacement is $85 and I'll pay return shipping. For Do It Yourselfer's, I also sell the best crosshair wire money can buy for about 20 years now. Its annealed Tungsten, is very strong & shows up Jet Black when installed. I have two diameters to choose from. Medium (.0015") and Fine (.0005"). Price is $15 per 10 foot length of either wire. I'll pay return shipping to anywhere in the lower 48. USA sales ONLY, please. US Postal Money Orders ONLY, please.
    Please communicate by email."

    WD,

    Bring the scope with you to the OAC show in August so that I can introduce you to a fellow who can make it better than new.

    Does this guy take mailorder scope repair?
    I am not likely to go to the OAC show, even if I knew what it was.
    (Ohio Arms Collectors, maybe. I knew a guy who was a regular there.)
