I have a Japanese Tasco World Class 24X fixed power target scope, (same scope as Weaver T Series 24X). There are black flakes appearing on the inside of the objective lens that I'm guessing are from the coating inside the tube. It's never been used nor even mounted and still in it's factory box so I guess the quality of the coating just wasn't that great. Is anyone aware of someone in the Houston area that does professional scope repair that might be able to remedy that problem? I understand that this scope isn't that valuable and if it would be an expensive endeavor it wouldn't be worth it . I've had a couple of the Weaver branded versions and they worked really well for viewing 22 cal holes in 100 yd targets. So I'm willing to spend a little on it if I can get done. I found a couple of repair facilities out of state but haven't inquired with them yet because I wanted to see if there was anyone local.
I also have another scope with the same problem and it's only 2 yrs old and has only been used for a couple of range trips on rimfires. But it's a SWFA so it's going back for repair or replace. I may be mistaken but I believe SWFA and the Japanese Tasco come from the same manufacturer.
