Vintage rifle scope

[bearden]

I am in need of a bit of help, I have a Bushnell 18mm 3xby7x custom 22 scope, the sn is 070322. It was made in Japan my best guess from 1966 to 1983.
The model is the Bullet drop compensator with the ring from 50 yards to 200 yards, the sticker says dial the distance and hold dead on.
I would ask you to check your what-not box, I am in need of the set screw that goes in the turret to keep the distance ring in place and the cover for the
(left/right) turret. I know its a long shot but its a great little scope I would like to restore.
I have contacted Bushnell 3 times (emailed there customer service, (over the last 12 months) but never a response.
Thanks for any help in the parts or a direction to find them

Well, at least we all know NOT to buy any Bushnell products........
Sorry for your trouble.... Unfortunately, I'm one of the (only) three people on this forum who throws out all his "junk"...

Take the other set screw down to your local hardware store and match it in the index. Then purchase another to match, or maybe two. JMHO YMMV.

Maybe?? It’s worth a call.

I purchased a Bushnell Space Master spotting scope and several eye lens of different powers about the same time frame as that scope being sold, 1977?.
8 years ago the variable power lens was no longer clear. The scope and parts had a lifetime warranty as I recall. I sent the lens to Bushnell for repair or replacement. A letter and the lens came back "they no longer can repair it or have parts for the scope". That company has been sold off several times I believe since those days.
They sent a current list of spotting scopes and if I filled out 1 on the sheet that I wanted it was at cost. That might be the most you get from Bushnell.
