Weaver repair

[rem40x]

Howdy,
Have Weaver 4x16x42 that won't hold POI. Searching the forum was discouraging for good repair service. Call the gentlemen in Texas and they said they didn't repair the Japanese version. Do I have a tent stake? Anybody have good repair service in the last year?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Greg

rem40x, the last repair that I had done was by Meade Instruments out in California. Not a very pleasant ordeal but finally got it back. It worked fine after repairs was made.,would not hold POI either) I looked thru my old mail file for their number but could not find it. You might be able to get their number from their web-site.

Meade no longer owns Weaver. ATK bought Weaver from Meade about 2 weeks ago. I don't know who you'd need to call at the moment. I imagine there's a lot of transitional craziness going on at Weaver right now.

Yep, sounds like it's a bad time to need a Weaver repaired. I know that is for the "birds". Oh well. Weaver today and who knows which one tomorrow? Bill

Thanks Tom & Bill. I'll see if info on the new owners turn up.

According to Weavers press release, ATK will be handling all their warranty work, for now. If your scope is out of warranty
and not an El Paso, there is another gentleman around,google)
that repairs newer Weavers as well as installs dots,etc.

Hope this helps.
