“VGS did a fantastic job, replacing the ocular/field lens in my Redfield 3 to 9 variable scope. The scope is as good as new and I have installed it on my custom 1903 Springfield.”

“Model 63 Winchester had been in storage for close to 50 years - got it from a relative - rifle in great shape but Weaver J4 scope glass clouded.
Just got the scope back, and it looks fantastic.
Excellent work from Vintage Gun Scopes

“Got the K3 today, beautiful! Already mounted and it solves the problems. Going to the range Monday(while other folk should be at work) and see how things go. If things don't go well, I doubt it's going to be the scope, more like a 68 year old rifle than been trade around a bit. Thanks! I do have a couple of other "old boys" I can use it on, both Mauser classics. Keep up the good work!”

“The base and rings showed up yesterday in fine condition. Hard to believe they are 40 years old (+/- 10 years). With the pre-64 Winchester model 70 and Leupold M8 scope I feel nearly whole again (if I only could find an original Boyt scoped rifle case, 46").
Anyway, you came through for me, thanks again.
Sincerely,
Rod”

“Good news, the scope is dialed in. Had a gunsmith check everything out and they got the scope adjusted properly. Have attached a pic of the target.
Their notes:
‘Bore sighted, then took gun to range and shot two groups off the bench. Gun will shoot under 2" @ 100 yds with no issue.’
Time to get some pork chops with this thing.
Thanks,
Chris”

“Hello Vintage Scopes,
I just received my order for two Scopes. The Burris fixed 10 power and the Weaver K10. You upgraded the K10, thank you so much. It means a lot. You'll see more of me. Beautiful Scopes.
Thank you,

“Thank you, this scope and rifle combination has great sentimental value. I was sick when I lost the cap. Thank you”

“Thank you for the repair of my grandfather’s Weaver J2.5. The scope obviously has much more sentimental value than monetary value to me. I am quite pleased with the work you accomplished. Also appreciated is your identifying the second scope, an Ordnance Optics, as unrepairable and inclosing a refund check. Absolutely first class on your part . This scope had no sentimental value, so again I am pleased with the results.
I was quite surprised in how you returned both scopes. The care of packaging was exceptional. You do restore faith that there are still individuals who believe in quality, service and pride of work.
I wish you the best,”

Subject: It works great!
Message: Scope was received in excellent packaging and arrived in a very timely manner. Had a chance the other evening to put it on paper and it worked beautifully out to 50 yards and zeroed super cleanly. Worked every bit as well and was as clear as i remember it when i shot it for the first time probably 25 ish years ago now. Just awesome work. Thank you.

“Hello there,
Don't mean to take up much of your time. I just wanted to say Thank You for the Great products and service that you folks have. It's always a pleasure to deal with you. I have to admit my concern about the Bling kit but when I put it on my pre 64 model 70 I found that it was well worth the time and money. I'll be purchasing some more in the near future.
Again Thank You,
John”

“Having a mid 60’s Browning in a rare calibre, it was important to put together a package that was period correct. Vintage Gun Scopes, went out of their way to provide quality original Buehler mounts and customer service that is second to none!
Polite and courteous staff made this company a joy to deal with and their prompt attention to service is remarkable in this day and age. I look forward to dealing with them in the future for all my scope needs.”

"You fixed up my Weaver Post Crosshair K2.5. I couldn't be happier. I put it on an old Savage 99 that was my relatives, who is long gone. 1.5" group at 100 yards! Clearer than I thought it would be and I just wanted to say thank you for a job well done.”

“You guys are a class act! Got the scope today and swapped out my G4 on my Marlin 39a. Packing and that wood scope box is very cool. I picked Excellent on the B4, and it looks spotless. I will send my G4 soon with form and check to get it refurbished. The tube is in great shape, but objective lens looks dusty and cloudy inside.
I will definitely recommend you guys on the Facebook groups I belong to. Especially lever guns!
Thanks

Subject: My order #350. Weaver K-1.5 x
Message: I just opened the box. The scope is outstanding! I have my mint 1959 win model 61 in the shop ready for the scope installation. I’ll get on it when I calm down. Thank you, Mark K.
I’d like to thank you for the fine job of restoring my grandmother’s Weaver K4 60B. She gave me the scope when I first started hunting and it was my first scope. She had used it on her Remington 722, .244 Remington and I used it on my dad’s Savage 99 EG, it had sat idle for many years and a few years ago I had got it out and it sat on a rag and somehow moisture got to it and rusted the underside of the scope. I was very disappointed and did an online search and found Vintage Gun scopes, I am so thankful that you provide a service of restoring these vintage scopes. I hope in the near future to put the scope on a model 99 again and take it hunting. I've attached a photo of the scope and the original box it came in.
Thank You!!
-Mark
“I received my Weaver V9-II in which you repaired. After looking through it and using the adjustments, the repair was expertly done. The box returned with the scope will always remain a keepsake. I again thank you so much and will be sending another soon.”

Message: Rec'd your beautiful Kollmorgen Bear Cub the other day. Excellent vintage merchandise. Top notch extras also. Heavy duty packaging. Great Folks to do business with! ......Tom
“I don't do this very often, but I felt I needed to send you folks a note. I received the 3x power scope the other day and was very pleased with it . I mounted it on a 1955 model 70 Winchester in .270. I enjoy the old rifles anyway I took it out and shot it for the first time this morning. It only took 3 shots to get it sighted in and after a few more I have decided I did the right thing by making this purchase. The groups are the size of a dime at 100 yards… I've used this rifle for a couple of years now and it's my favorite and with this setup I can see it will be even more special. I can't wait for next season to come in.”
Thanks Again, John”
“I want to thank you for everything you do to facilitate extraordinary outcomes as an entrepreneur and subject matter expert. This Kollmorgen and rings will rest gracefully above my future grandson’s rifle and I hope the stories of how it came together far outlive us both!”
-Richard
“Hello James,
I received my replacement Weaver turret Caps and they fit like new.
This makes me happy to have this scope like it was when my father gave it to me over fifty years ago.
If I have friends that need Caps I will give them your contact information.
Thanks again,
Jim”
“Subject: B4 arrived okay
I couldn't be more pleased. Scope exceeded your description. Optics and scope condition excellent. It has a good home and will be maintained. I would give it six stars. Next project. Need a upper end scope for a center fire Marlin 336. Looking for your recommendation. Thanks again for your help and expertise. I was very impressed with the packaging. The box makes you feel special. “

Message: I recently ordered a couple of pairs of Conetrol scope rings off Vintage after finding your business on the internet. I live in New Zealand where these items are harder to obtain. The items arrived in the mail today from the States totally to my satisfaction. Accurately described, reasonably priced and with speedy dispatch. Well done to you guys. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your business to other international customers. Keep up the good work!
-Alister
“The scope arrived safe and sound this afternoon. All I can say is wow – the fit/finish, optical clarity, etc. of this scope are awesome. Special props to the packaging department as well – was not expecting a wooden display case. I can’t recall the original K2.5 specs regarding eye-relief, but was initially concerned about “scope bite” particularly on a 45-70. Not sure if eye relief is something you modify as part of the restoration, but I have no concerns now with the extended relief this scope has. I can’t wait to get this mounted and sighted on my rifle (I’m in the 10 day window!!). Really appreciate the craftsmanship and expertise in making these products available. I LOVE taking a vintage item and restoring/improving upon it with modern capabilities.”
-Mike
“Got the Weaver K6 in today. Brought back a lot of memories of standing in the Army Surplus store and the Hardware store and staring at rifles and scopes when I was a kid.
Thanks again,”

“…scope is very very nice. Mounted on my 1954 model 70 and makes the entire setup look as vintage as it should. Thanks again!”

“I received my vintage Leupold 2-7x33 scope and could not be happier. I mounted it on my CZ USA 452 Grand Finale 22lr. Even though this rifle is new - it’s beauty and attention to construction speaks of an earlier time. This pairing not only looks great together but they function perfectly with great balance an accuracy. I will be passing this rig onto my Grandchildren some day.
Thank You,”
Fred D.
"I just picked up the scope. It looks great and what a box. You made it easy to comply with US export regulatory requirements. Thanks again.”
-Milo
"Bro, that Weaver 3 X 9 Wide is awesome, I was doing a side X side camparo with my Leupold VX1, considering the 30 year production difference the Weaver rocks. Probably going to do a 1979 Winchester Model 70 XTR 300 win. mag.(NIB) build-up so I'll most likely get another Weaver.”
-Scott
“Just a quick note to say I received my scope, and I am very pleased with it, and also your excellent service.
Thank you very much for your service, I would certainly recommend your company if some one is looking for a vintage scope.”
