RE: I stripped a hole installing scope base on a new Omega.
I called T/C first thing this morning (while driving to work). Nice lady connected me with a gentleman in their repair department. He said send the barrel in to T/C and we' ll send you out a new one. End of story. His exact words " We don' t dink around trying to fix the threads, we replace the barrel. It' s a manufacturing problem, not a neglect situation and you have a lifetime warrenty." Hmmm, I think I' ll be buying more T/C products in the future.
Only bummer is I' m out of commision for awhile. I' ll report back how long T/C turns around and gets me a new barrel.
