Rifle Scopes Vintage Redfield rebuilds?

[Sup]

I know that Leupold purchased the Redfield name a while back, but does anyone know if they service vintage Redfield scopes? Have an old one sitting on top of a Pre-64 that I don't want to replace but needs some TLC.

If not Leupold is there anywhere else that a person can send the scope to be serviced? Or at least inspected to see if it can be repaired?

No they don't, but I think there is a company called Iron Sight or something that will service them. I think there is also another one that I can't remember the name of right now. I will see if I can find the link for the Iron Sight one and post back.

That's the link for the place I think you want.

I found the other site I was thinking of, but they don't appear to do Redfields, just Weavers.

Awesome, thanks for the link. Will have to get in contact with them and have this scope sent off for service.

Hey, this rocks. I had no idea you could do this. My step-dad just handed me an R700 .270 with an older (mid-late 80's) 3-9 Redfield. He expressed concerns that the O-rings may have dried out and the nitrogen leaking out. I want to take it mulie hunting this season so I guess I better find out. Do you guys think if I were to put it in the bathroom with a lot of steam from the shower, that it would fog if the Nitrogen was gone? Maybe run a test like this? Thanks for the help.
