Default RE: What should I do? Scope repair question

ORIGINAL: dkbs

Thanks in advance for any responses.

I have a Bushnell Elite 3200 Rifle Scope w/ Rainguard. For me an expensive scope, about $200 a number of years ago. I put it on an inline muzzleloader, worked great. Moved it to a Rem 870 12 gauge and worked fine for a year or two. Now it seems to not hold its zero and doesn't respond the way it should to adjustment. To rule out the gun and because I wanted another gun, I bought an H&R Ultra Slug gun and put the scope on it. Same problem. We ruled out the shooter by my son shooting it and I his gun and the terrible groups went with the gun with that scope. I know some people say don't put a rifle scope on a shotgun, but does the shotgun kick any harder than one of those big African Magnums.
Heres the question, should I waste the $20 to send the scope in to get an estimate for repairs? Or am I throwing the money away because by the time I add more money to it, I could get a cheap scope that would last as long.

I sent a scop back to busnell.
They said it wasn't repairable so they sent me a new one like the one I sent to them.
They was going to charge $60.00 for a new one.
So I called them and fussed about having to pay for a scope with a limeted life time warrenty.
Then the said OK and they sent it to me no charge.
Just cost me insurance and shipping to and from them.


What ever you do good luck.

PS just don't tell them you put it on anything other than a rifle.
They will say it was missused and won't send another one.
