I believe the erector was compromised due to turrets turned beyond stops. Any comments on where to go next would be greatly appreciated. I'm not so interested in using the scope as in gaining knowledge. Sure hate to see servicable equipment relagated to the trash bin if it can be saved. Edited by kiwi98j |

Sounds like the scope would be an ongoing problem and frustration even if you did manage to get the scope fixed. I say cut your losses and upgrade your scope. One that comes to mind with close to the same power is the Weaver T series.
Weaver 24x40 T-Series
If you do believe the scope is faulty and want to try and get it repaired. You will have to do it through these guys: |

If you don't want it, I would look into the scope Brady suggested!!!!

Thanks for the response.
With the information provided, I was able to track down a vendor that offered this scope as a TSG2444 a few years ago. This scope was built by Asia Optics in 1999 or 2000 and sold in the US by Tasco.
With a bit of research and trial & error, I was able to optically re-center the erector and restore the scope to working condition. My customer is pleased, both he and I have learned quite a bit about scope do's & don'ts.
BTW my initial recommendation was to replace the Tasco with a Weaver T series if I could not affect a repair, considering his budget and application.

Thank you all for the help. I set up a Burris Farifield II 4x14 purchased from SWFA on a customer rifle a few months ago. A very nice scope and his good choice for his application. He had very good things to say about doing business with y'all and I remembered his comments. I tried talking him into a Weaver but!!!
Y'all are geting alot of good comments about customer service and have some very good prices for some of the best products on the market.
