Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Turret Cap Measurements

I have an old Abercrombie & Fitch scope that is missing one of the turret caps. What do I need to measure in order to find a replacement? And, where would I source the caps? The scope is a “TV Screen” or Wideview type. I’m assuming Leupold or Redfield might be the manufacturer for A&F put that’s purely a guess.

ambercrombie & Fitch scope.. I will be the first to admit that's a new one on me I didn't have any idea such a critter existed..

Yeah. Everyone thinks about half naked teenagers but A&F was a world class outfitter back in the day.

I don't know if anyone else besides Redfield that made the widefield "TV" objective.

Ebay?

Pull some off of your other scopes and see what fits then contact that scope maker?

I tried some but none worked. Fortunately, it has one so at least I have something to work with. I just don’t know exactly what to measure for a replacement. The turret or the cap.

What have you tried?

RW (Bob) Loveless, the legendary knife maker, got his start making knives for Abercrombie & Fitch. From Wikipedia:

Knifemaking
In December 1953, Loveless returned to the Merchant Marine on a tanker based in New York. Loveless visited Abercrombie & Fitch in New York City in order to purchase a Randall Made knife. After learning there was a nine-month wait for the knife he wanted, he decided to make his own. He ground his first blade from a 1937 Packard Automobile spring found in a Newark, New Jersey junkyard and forged it on the oil-fired galley stove of the ship on which he was serving. After showing this homemade knife to the head of the Abercrombie & Fitch cutlery department he formed a relationship with the retailer to sell his knives. Loveless sold his knives to Abercrombie & Fitch for $14 USD a piece at the time.[4][5]
From 1954 to 1960 Loveless made knives called "Delaware Maids" and they became Abercrombie & Fitch's best-selling handmade items, outselling the Randall blades. Loveless admitted that these knives were copies of Randall's designs, but by 1960 he began making his own innovations which set them apart.[3] Loveless was a founding member of the Knifemakers' Guild in 1970 and served as the club's first Secretary. Loveless went on to serve two terms as the Guild's president from 1973 to 1976.[6][7][8]

Just a couple that were close by. I’m in the process of majorly moving stuff around and most of my other scopes are packed and stacked deep. I just ASSUMED there were measurements that could be taken.

Weaver made a TV screen scope also.
