Too bad the old Weaver scope repair guys called it quits. I sent them a 1946-vintage K2.5 that was in sad condition. They fitted a couple of new lenses they had laying around (to replace ones that were de-laminating) and re-coated all the lenses. They also re-finished the outside with something I know not what. All for the princely sum of $60 (this was 15 years ago). It came back 100% better than it probably was new. The image as viewed through it is so sharp it'll cut your eye. It remains to this day the only scope I ever use on a hunting rifle- it travels between two Mausers, both with G&H QD side mounts, and only gets installed on those rare occasions I need to back up the receiver sights. At that, it has endured more than a couple rain/snow storms and never fogged on me.
