Also, Leupold had to be dragged kicking & screaming to 30MM tubes and it was only when the Australians came out with the Hillver & Lynx lines of mounts & rings, that the Leupold, Burris, and Redfield put a forth screw in their one piece bases, otherwise, those bases haven't change since the '20s(Why should we change 'em? Hell they're still buyin' 'em, ain't they?). Is it done? No, and some like Leupold fix them and get them back to you at little or no cost. So, the industry standard for an American or Japanese scope is 1,000 rounds from a sporter weight 30-'06, after that, the companies figure the scope is done. Remember, in America, LOTS of people have guns, a few people have LOTS of guns, but few people shoot their guns a LOT. They are big and clunky, kinda like Dinosaurs from a forgotten age, but, they still work. Are they the best thing since canned bread & sliced beer? No, but unless one does something stupid, they still work very well, indeed. The adjustments on these 'scopes will still be working very well, if not flawlessly, after many changes to windage and elevation, when your "Elite" 6500 may be over and out.

Time, when people wanted things to LAST, and built things that way, because they didn't necessarily want to buy something next year, and the next, and.nor could they afford to(and there are many in politics who seem hell-bent to make sure they can't afford it any more, either). I do though know I wish I had every Unertl scope I have sold - BACK! I can never remember using any of my Unertl optics in "rainy or jungle like conditions" so I can't comment thereon. I also have a Unertl spotting scope with two eyepieces one in 20 power and the other in 27 power.Īgain the image is outstandingly clear and uniform and no eyestrain is encountered even after long sessions of useage with it! There should have been a lesson for me there somewhere. I always sold the Unertls I owned for more money than I paid for them! I always get a kick out of the reaction of newbie type people who look through this scope on a sunny day - they go into a kind of shock at the absolute clarity of the Unertl's image! This model is my favorite of all the Unertl scopes I have owned.

I am down to just two Unertls nowadays and one of them is the BV-20 (straight 20 power with A/O)! I have owned 1 1/2" models, 2" models, Ultra-Varmints (in both 12 and 15 power) and a couple of BV-20's! Never had a failure, always had splendid optics, superb imagery and no eye strain! Like someone else posted I have also owned 12 or 14 Unertl's over the past 40 years. Remember, even though YOU may not want to try it, 'specially on yourself, even neurosurgery is a LEARNED skill.:D:rolleyes: ):D Yeah,:Dthere ARE fools who'll take anything apart, but having the proper tools and advice from experts can help a bunch. But, if I were to do that, I'd speak to at least an optometrist, or the factory/repair facility about the best way to go about it. Better yet, if there was a place in town where nitrogen could be gotten, it could be used to fill it. Much above warm, you'll be drawing moisture in as it cools. All that would need to be done would be to have the rear in a downward inclined position while changing the reticle, then warm it slightly w/a hairdryer. The reticles came in a steel tube and could be changed out by the operator. F-4s & F-104s, but can't turn their backs on the F-8s & P-61s ) I, however, jes' LUUVV my BALvar 24s :eek: (I just need to put a LIGHTER barrel on the 40Xs, 14.5 is too much for "walkin' aroun'" rifle.)ħX.300 Just forward of the ocular(in your photo, the second ring just forward of the eyepiece) that second ring on many Unertls was what held the reticle.
