blue109 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 well, I sang praises of this scope, but with only about 600 rounds through it I hit a snag. the EL turret has gotten mushy. it still works, but the clicks are almost nonexistent. I took it apart as much as possible to see if it was just the knob and there's nothing there. pretty annoyed. time to see how weaver warranty holds up.

I've got the same scope & I'm very interested to see how Weaver handles this issue...No problems with mine so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 I'm taking a few days off starting Monday so I'll get the ball rolling. also need to see if RRA will replace my sloppy NM trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebra644 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) if not Primary Arms has the RR NM for under $100 I just bought one. I think between the Armalite NM in my AR-10 and the RRA NM in ny Spikes,I like the Armalite jut a little better.

unforgiven Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Or Bill Springfield will tweek it for $40.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) meh. if they don't fix it I'll just swap in a factory trigger. never been a huge deal for me. I pulled it out and it was pretty dirty and gritty, so I'm going to clean it up and try it again first. has some gunk in the hook that might be the issue.

blue109 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) finally got around to getting the scope in the mail yesterday. weaver said they would repair/replace it over the phone when I was getting my RMA number. they also said expect up to 6 Weeks for turnaround. start the clock! off topic: RRA also said via email they would replace the trigger, but I have to call to get the RMA, and they have sucky hours, and I work alot. I'll get there eventually. Edited May 11, 2014 by blue109 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnatshooter Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 I am getting the impression that the firearms industry beats all the others for generous defects and returns policies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 got her back today. all seems right. paperwork says faulty turret mechanism. says it was fully inspected and cleaned. I sent it without a battery and it came back without one. was kinda thinking they would toss in a fresh one for my inconvenience. wondering if they even bothered to test it. the instructions on the website say to send a MO for $15 for shipping along with it in case it's not covered under warrantee. I didn't send one and they didn't mention it. there was no correspondence either direction. they advised a 6 week repair window, and came in under that. I was planning on giving them a call this week but not necessary now. bottom line...scope was fixed. no extras, but no drama either. just cost me $10 for shipping. I'm satisfied pending range time.

98Z5V Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'm satisfied pending range time. Let's go box-test that thing, hooked up to the .460!!! :eek: I keed, I keed!... <laughs> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I was watching miculek videos yesterday and I saw him rapid fire a .500 made me think of all the AZ ladies who didn't want to shoot the .460 last time :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was even dumb enough to stand beside the cylinder when Jon got busy, just to eat some concussion!@!!! I'ma dumb fucker, for sure... <lmao> That thing skeers me. BAD. :eek: If I had to head into Bear Country, and had to pick from two things on the table, one being that .460, and the other being the backpack M134 minigun from Predator... I'd take that .460. There's NOTHING right about that revolver. NOTHING. That thing is nasty. Edited June 11, 2014 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
