I'd probably help that scope to the trash can.

But, maybe you can fix it...so it will work properly and can be trusted.

It is called honesty. That scope needs to be professionally repaired or more likely, replaced. Then the turret comes OUT they are trash.

Some times people mistake the truth for hate. If the C clip goes inside, which I am guessing it does you are out of luck. Unless you can take the scope apart and put the clip on from the inside. Even if you get it back together, I would bet it will fog up inside. You can get used Tasco's starting at about $25 shipped on E-bay.

Almost impossible to repair any optic, scope or binocs. For that reason, consider purchasing a used scope with a lifetime guarantee.

About 15 years ago I saw a pair of non-working Swarovski binocs on eBay for $65. Bought them and returned to the repair center for free warranty service. They came back working perfectly with no charge. I have two Leupold Goldring variables made before click adjustments. Both have gone back and both still work just fine. I rarely use them.as they are now on TC carbine barrels.

If a man has holes in his shoes and asks for help I Don’t tell him to throw his shoes away , I offer help with tape or glue or I say quietly I don’t know how to repair !

Re: Need Help With Scope Please - 11/19/23 11:32 PM

At what point do you get realistic with him and tell him his shoes are beyond repair and simply need to be replaced?

What brand and power is the scope that needs to be replaced?

Re: Need Help With Scope Please - 11/19/23 11:59 PM

I already said there are Tasco scopes for $25 shipped. Do you need a cheaper option? Throw some tape around it. Duct tape holds well and you can get it in about any color you want.

It’s a Tasco Straight 4 piwer

I think someone is reading more into this than is intended. If anyone knows how to fix this scope, please share your knowledge, optical equipment you use, and your gas charging system with us.

A shoe with a hole in it might also be beyond repair. As a kid in the 50s, I put baseball cards in mine until we went to town.

It looks like I don't have a straight 4X. This one is a 3-12x32. If it will work for you, you can have it. PM me your mailing address and I will send it Tuesday.

Tasco had a lifetime warranty at one time. Not sure if they still do or not. Might be worth contacting them to find out. I know that won't fix the immediate problem but it is an option.

I have a straight 4 power I took off a gun I bought that you can have also, if interested. I don't know its history.

I'm with the others, that one in pic is a goner.

What size work boots do you wear? I have an old pair of Danners that ain't wore all the way through you can have.

Pat, is that a knife I see in the picture? You know you aren't allowed to have anything sharp!

It's just a little knife. I would have expected you to comment on the other stuff like the carbine barrel or the Leopold scope next to it.

They quit that when they moved their manufacture to China. The old Japanese Tasco scopes were first rate.

No need to comment on the others. Now I see an adult sized blade at the top of the pictures. Don't worry, I will get help headed your way. I know those "child proof" bags are frustrating but still.....

Did not know that. For a bargain scope they weren't bad. The 3X9 X 40 I have is a Japanese scope. Bought around 1985. Still clear. Still tracks true on adjustments.

I’d at least call and see. Worst thing they can say is no. It looks like if it’s not your fault their warranty should cover it.

Why are you speaking 3rd person? You posted the pics asked for help. You just can't handle honesty. That scope is finished. If it was gas purged, the gas is gone. You can't just fix that at home. Best to cut your losses.
