If you want to PM me on here Ollie I will have a chat about what can be done. As most folk know on here, I manage Focalpoint Optics & we use the top repairer in the UK as our private repairer. We have to send stuff away but get an estimate first before you need to decide whether it is economic to repair or not. Dependant upon what make & models they are and what exactly is wrong I will be able to advise on approximate costs before sending away. I do come into Manchester lots so could even sort a pick up, drop off for you if you would find if difficult to get out to us in Cheshire

If you would like me to help please PM, otherwise I will assume that you have sorted it out OK

Anybody know a good place in Manchester to get a scope fixed? I have two and seem to have damaged them both (through my own carelessness and not having good cases for them).

Stockport Optics on 0161 429 8002 (located in Stockport unsurprisingly) has always come with excellent reviews by county birders who have used them for optics repair and has been mentioned within similar themed threads on here before. Worth asking them for a quote Ollie.
