The windage adjustment on my 2,5X Noske scope is frozen, resisting all efforts to turn it. Under the assumption that the cause is hardened grease, I have considered applying a hair drier to it in an effort to melt the grease without damaging the scope mechanism. If I knew of a scope mechanic willing to take on such an antique, I would consider sending it off to him, but several I have corresponded with are unwilling to undertake the job. I am particularly fond of Noskes because of the wonderful optics and the long eye relief, an advantage for use with a rifle with noticable recoil.

Any suggestions or recommendations?
 
Try vintage gun scopes out of Montana. They specialize in old Weavers and Lyman Alaskans, but they would be the only ones I can think of.
 
Sorry, the scope man I used for several years has passed away so I'm in the same boat as you for having someone maintain the old Zeiss & Unertls.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
