Getting A Scope Serviced

[Flipper_Al 1,012]

I have a Falcon Merlin scope that im haveing an issue with, the zoom doesn't appear to be working, and its very stiff to move it.

So anyone know apart from sending it back to Falcon, where i can get it serviced....?

Falcon would probably be your best bet mate, all scopes are different, it's something that's a good question but doesn't get asked often.

I have dropped Falcon an email, requesting a price to service it.... i think though with the postage and insurance, it may be uneconomical

Hopefully someone here may know what to do mate, I take it warranty and that is not available?

[Flipper_Al 1,012]

No warranty.... shame lol

I had an AGS scope set to 6 times and then I went to zoom in or out and it stayed the same and the ring was slack to turn. a quick tighten up with an allen key and it was sorted

 

hope yours is a simple fix mate all the best

The zoom ring on the Merlin has a screw in it, but according to the manual, this has no effect on the rotation, i had one of those sea reel clamps on it, which made moving it easier, but it didn't appear to make any difference in the magnification/zoom
