There should have been a lesson for me there somewhere. I always sold the Unertls I owned for more money than I paid for them! I always get a kick out of the reaction of newbie type people who look through this scope on a sunny day - they go into a kind of shock at the absolute clarity of the Unertl's image! This model is my favorite of all the Unertl scopes I have owned. I am down to just two Unertls nowadays and one of them is the BV-20 (straight 20 power with A/O)! I have owned 1 1/2" models, 2" models, Ultra-Varmints (in both 12 and 15 power) and a couple of BV-20's! Never had a failure, always had splendid optics, superb imagery and no eye strain! Like someone else posted I have also owned 12 or 14 Unertl's over the past 40 years. Remember, even though YOU may not want to try it, 'specially on yourself, even neurosurgery is a LEARNED skill.:D:rolleyes: ):D Yeah,:Dthere ARE fools who'll take anything apart, but having the proper tools and advice from experts can help a bunch. But, if I were to do that, I'd speak to at least an optometrist, or the factory/repair facility about the best way to go about it. Better yet, if there was a place in town where nitrogen could be gotten, it could be used to fill it.

Much above warm, you'll be drawing moisture in as it cools. All that would need to be done would be to have the rear in a downward inclined position while changing the reticle, then warm it slightly w/a hairdryer. The reticles came in a steel tube and could be changed out by the operator. F-4s & F-104s, but can't turn their backs on the F-8s & P-61s ) I, however, jes' LUUVV my BALvar 24s :eek: (I just need to put a LIGHTER barrel on the 40Xs, 14.5 is too much for "walkin' aroun'" rifle.)ħX.300 Just forward of the ocular(in your photo, the second ring just forward of the eyepiece) that second ring on many Unertls was what held the reticle.
