    scope repair?

    I have a few scopes with broken reticles... Can these be fixed or am I hanging on to useless tubes?

    Unless they are quality expensive scopes then its not worth your while doing anything with them to be honest.

    It's not that expensive to repair them however..

    The last time I checked (for a non IR bushnell banner 4-16) it was about £50 from the 2-3 places I called.

    As said above, it probably makes it less worthwhile if they're only chapies - what are they?

    Oh well... Any interesting suggestions on what I can recycling these? Or is self repair completely impossible?

    It's not impossible, but you'll probably break something else finding out which bits you need to be careful with and how to open them up fully!
    Were these knackered by a springer? Chances are they will break again anyway..

    The bin springs to mind its not worth getting them fixed,or take them apart and you will get a better idea of how scopes work ect.
