Hi All
Gutted that my nemesis got blown over and my S&B 5-25 took the brunt. Luckily no damage to rifle or scope body (phew) but the scopes battery cover and parralax adjuster took the fall , its more annoying than anything else with the little dinks and scratches any suggestions on what to do with the damage ?

Black nasty or Krylon?

Welcome XIX.

Why not introduce yourself on the New Members forum?

Leave the scratches, they're evidence of use.

I'm sure the scope looks much better now!

I'd still go with Black nasty it makes women want to touch you

Have ya tried P1ss!n on it?

Get new caps from S&B but don't put them on until its time to sell.

My 4-16 PMII is a few years old now and has a few places where the paint has worn off as opposed to scratches and I think it just adds character however you can ship to S&B for a service and refurb or buy spare caps as suggested from Sporting Services. The good news is the S&B should cope well with such bangs.

A few years ago I heard a huge crash as a rifle fell out of a cabinet and hit the floor, I held my breath thinking crikey or words to that effect until I heard a cheery call "Nothing to worry about, it was just you Accuracy International hitting the floor" It shot perfectly on it's next outing.

TBH if a S& B or AI couldn't take a beating, I'd be very disappointed. both are designed with the rigours of life with a sniper. they look after them, but they don't get wrapped in cotton wool.

Blown over...... Was it a tornado by any chance...

I'm sure the good folks on here would like a photo (not of the damage but the small bang stick) as many won't have had the pleasure of seeing one let alone shooting one
