A year and one month ago I sent my Weaver k-6 to Ironsight Inc. for a rebuild. It was in my mailbox today and I have to say I'm impressed. It's clear as a glass of springwater to look thru and it tracks just fine on a box test I did using my 22-250 heavy barrel Ruger. I know the scope's a relic but so am I. It's served me well thru some hard use over the years and now will likely outlive me.
I was aware from the start it would be a long wait to get the scope serviced but it was well worth it. My hat's off to the folks at Ironsight!
 
dang...a year ??
i have an 8-32 redfield target in got a rebuild..it was suppose to be a 6 month wait.......

Hi Mike. Getting older scopes repaired sure isnt like sending a faulty Leupold in. I have had great service from Leupold and scopes returned in one month. I was not so much in need of the old Weaver so the waiting period was ok. I guess my reason for the rebuild was as much sentimental as anything. I had them install Mil Dot reticle and it is really nice too, the dots are small and unobtrusive. they dont cover small targets at longer ranges. Last I heard about Ironsight's lead time, it's right around a year.

I have an old Denver Redfield 2-7X in there due to clouding in the lens cement. Not really worth a rebuild but that scope has been bullet proof in holding POI and in adjustment and I've had it a LONG time. So, I guess it deserves it. At least its robust enough to be fixed. --Greg
