Rifle Scopes Hensoldt help

[Jrb572]

Need a little help. I was rezeroing my scope and broke the o-ring on the turret. Emailed Hudisco. Was told they no longer import the product. Weather they ment the o-ring or scope I'm not sure.
At work I have a giant selection of them but they are to thick. I found a thinner one but it seems to have made adjustment really stiff.
Anybody have a replacement I could purchase? Or know where to go buy them?
Any help is appreciated.

Re: Hensoldt help

If I'm not mistaken Hudisco is no longer the importer for Hensoldt and Nathan (SN= Hudisco) now works for Zeiss Sport Optics who currently is waiting ITAR approval for Zeiss Hensoldt.

Last I contacted Zeiss Sport Optics about a replacement turret cap I was told the permit process could take another few months and I decided to just check back then. This was about a month ago.

The girl was very helpful its just that I didnt want them to send the scope to germany, so it was my decision to wait and check back later.

Hopefully Hudisco can chime in to correct anything that I've said above if its wrong, but thats what I understood.

Re: Hensoldt help

Nathan works for Zeiss Optronics (defense industry stuff) not the Sport Optics side. Neither O-Ring is really critical to function persay, and my O-Rings have long been gone and I haven't noticed any deterioration of performance. That O-Ring under the turret screw wont hurt anything by not being there.

Re: Hensoldt help

Thank you. It's the larger one on the scope body. I wasn't sure if it was to help keep out water and dirt.

Re: Hensoldt help

it is, but how often do you go swimming with your rifle? You will be fine without it, but if it bothers you, you can normally get them at Home Depot or Lowes
