Rifle Scopes daughter dropped my scope

[steelejones]

The front objective, right at the edge dented in. The scope doesnt appear as sharp as it was. Im wondering if its because the dented in portion is causing an issue with the focus of the lense.

Is it possible for me to bend that back out, with no issues and im honestly unsure how to even try. ITs pretty strong.

There is a tool for expanding out dented objectives. Don't try to do it improperly.

Not enough information: I might help to know what scope it is.

So do you think this is causing it to be a bit blurry and out of focus ?

Re: daughter dropped my scope

Can you send me to a link for such a tool ?

Take a picture, and show us how bad it is.
I have a buddy that had a scope with a similar bend, he was able to get it fixed by a gunsmith, somehow he used a lathe and UHMW.

There is a chance the glass inside may of been bumped and shifted when dropped? A pic of the damage may help some of the guys figure this out for you.

Details are important

I haven't seen one for sale, just discussed here by others. Someone will pipe up with more info. If you can straighten it back up without leaving marks and it is still screwed up Mueller will replace it for you.

Dude,

I found mine with a flat tip screw driver once en-route to help me "work" on my rifle, by inserting the driver in the lends to "clean them"

enjoy fatherhood.

Just email Mueller. It cost something like $15 to get an out of warranty scope repaired.

Harbor freight sells 3 different sizes of exhaust pipe expanders for about $5.00 each.
wrap cloth around the expander & just turn the extension bolt real slow. seems like it would work pretty good.

The objective probably is effecting the picture.

I had a USO and the honeycomb sunshade would cause it to loose clarity. It's the same idea- anything that reflects light where you don't want it will cause some optical clarity loss.
