Is there anybody who rebuilds old scopes like the old Weaver 330? My son inlaws grandfather's old Model 75 win 22 is tapped and has an old 330 on it that just looks right for the old gun but is very cloudy and hardly useable.

I'll tell you mike by the time you get it repaired your going to have a bunch of money in it. Well more than it's worth. You might consider replacing it and just putting it away for the memory.

I've had very good luck using Cabala's little 2 by 7 Pineridge shotgun/black powder scopes on 22's. They are only around 70 bucks and bright and clear. Best is they have a 50 yard hyperfocal distance which is ideal for a 22 rifle.

Mike has repaired a couple scopes for me that Meade Optics (present owner of Weaver, Redfield, Simmons) wouldn't honor the older model's warranty. Will probably run about $75 for repair. Mike is pretty busy and usually takes 6-8 weeks to finish.

Follow Kragman's advice...been a few years, but they do good work.

The old lens cement they used was not as UV proof as is used on glass products today and seems to degrade with age...it gets cloudy and seperates. Can also be casued by impact seperation....usualy get a multi-colored rainbow effect when viewed on an angle when the elements first sepeate.

Is worth the effort of rebuilding...are fewer and fewer of these old scopes around, and nothing looks uite as good as a classic old rifle with a matching classic old scope.

Thanks Guys, I think I will at least contact them and see what they say.
