Good scope repair shop?

I have a couple of old Weavers I'd like to get worked on. Can anyone recommend a reputable scope repair shop? Thanks.

Does the manufacturer do any repairs? If they do that is who I would send it to.

Not sure if Weaver works on their old scopes or not. But I might contact them about that.

Google rifle scope repair, and a bunch of establishment will pop up. I contacted one with long history for my favorite old Weaver. Email came back with detailed estimate. Over $100. I said thank you but no thank you.

I like my scope. But I only paid $20 for it used. I will keep on using it as it is.

Ironsight

There is an outfit in Oklahoma (Ironsight) that works on vintage scopes, and I think they do USA Weavers. Their turnaround is pretty long these days, and I hear the price has gone up since I used them last.


But my experience with them on the two rebuilds I had them do was very positive. They worked on an 2 vintage Redfields (Denver) and a decade ago or more, the cost was $65 (I think).

I had a long phone conversation regards one scope with the owner, and he seemed like a heck of a good fellow.
