Scope course
Hi I am looking to do a course that will assist me in servicing and repairing rifle scopes. Anyone know of such a course?

Re: Scope course
No, but if I am correct in assuming you want to start a business doing so, I like your idea!
If it was me, I would approach Lynx Optics. Maybe you could get an apprenticeship of some sort with them then later on go off on your own. They might also be able to point you in the correct direction. I think they get sufficient requests to work on "other" scopes that they might even be happy if there is someone else to pass the work on to. They are nice, helpful guys in my experience.
I suspect the biggest hurdle would be to get hold of suitable specialised tools & equipment if you're planning working on modern scopes. I would guess that older scopes would be a bit simpler & one could work on them with more generic equipment.
