Just had my scope apart, and now back together. With help from Hugh (valleysniper). All I can say is how much I enjoyed the technical challenge and marveled at the workmanship and exacting tolerances of this beautiful piece of optical equipment. Don't think there's many people out there that can say they've striped and serviced a HT Scope, love this hobby (addiction) and learning all the time with the help and assistance of those who share their vast knowledge.
