For the record, I sent it back to L+K to clean the glue and lint from the lenses and because my reticle had been previously plumb I noticed that it was now out of plumb as a result of the elevation turret having been reinstalled backward. Its an old German claw mounted scope with soldered rings so it was plumbed when built and can't be rotated in its mounts. The reticle tube inside is screwed to the turret assembly outside which if installed backward causes the reticle alignment to change slightly. L+K says it doesn't matter but they're wrong; it matters if you have soldered rings and can't plumb the reticle by rotating the scope in its mounts. They refused to fix any/all of their mistakes. These scopes must be put back together the way they were originally assembled. Gil's son Richard (Parsons) now has Parsons scope repair and I recommend them highly. Do not send your scope to L+K, you'll regret it.
