Sightron service question

[LeadHead]

Before ya'll reply with questions as to whether I've called them to ask--no, I haven't (yet)--but does anyone know if Sightron offers a "refurb" or "refinish" service for a scope that has scuffs and scratches but is otherwise in good functional condition?

Good Question ..........

room temperature Cera-Kote?

Guess I'm not familiar with "room temperature" Cera-Kote.

There are two separate Cera-Kota coating systems. One is spraying the coating on and baking the coating at about 350*. The other is also a spray-on, but that cures at room temperature. Kind of like spraying with a rattle can.

Is that the same as Duracoat?

No. Cerakote refers to them as "oven cure" and "air cure". The air cure is what he's referring to. They're applied the same way, just cured differently. The oven cure cerakote is a lot tougher than the air cure.

Always good to learn new things. Thanks, guys.

All things considered, the air cure is fairly tough. Unless you use your scope as a pry bar, you should be just fine.

I emailed Sightron customer service with some repair questions a few years ago. They were quick to respond with answers- customerservice@sightron.com

It is. I was just stating that the oven cure is better.

I have found that calling them is way faster. Good folks with good customer service. I also have a Sightron that got dinged up. Ugh
