ejg223 Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Bought a 3-12x50 S&B second hand. Was a bit battered up but with the newer lenses. Plan was to send it to S&B and get the turrets changed to the clicky types. Cost was 208,- Euros for both turrets or 104,- for one. The good thing was that schmidt took the scope apart, cleaned it, fitted new o-rings, adjusted paralax and recoil tested it. for free!. I think they even changed the front lense. Turn around was about 4 weeks. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 That sounds like a bargain to me 200 Euro for change of turrents AND full service, wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted November 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Panther, snazy bit of kit. At the moment its' more important to rig up our crono and get some real figures instead of guessing. so that's next. Ronin, it is a good price but more important was the service which takes that bad feeling away from bying a used scope. Had a leupold go wonky on me in the past, got the same service from their agent in europe. A lense was loose, this was fixed and sent back to me without even charging postage. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 308Panther Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Hardest part was findin one... Cabelas didnt have,Neither did Gander Mountain,or Sportsman Warehouse Got it off that site,took a week. Next hardest part was tryin to write out the data as the ribbon wanted to retract. Use 2 people or a small set of clamps. 308Panther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 That is a nice neat job, I have been looking for a target turret S&B for a while at reasonable money without success. That opens up a whole new ball game. Where did you send it?, Germany?. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted November 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Alycicon, sent it to the factory in germany. Spoke to Mr. Goerzel by phone and arranged it. He is the head guy of the repair dep. If you need phone no. or e-mail addr. let me know. If you are real quick you could bid on this one, a good price at the moment. Visit My Website It has a P1 reticule might not be every ones cup o tea. But looks very new. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
