Bought a Golden ring 3-9 in 1991 for my Mini-14.
Haven't had it out in years. The rotating ring to adjust the magnification
is very hard to turn,and my arthritis doesn't help. Is there a way to
lubricate it? Don't want to ruin a nice scope.

Contact Leupold in Beaverton, Or. They are incredibly helpful there. They will fix you up. Trust me.

I had a couple of many years-old rimfire special scopes with the same issue that they fixed for me. The only cost was sending the scopes to them.

I can tell at sight a Chassepot rifle from a javelin.

You can purchase switch view levers for many scopes. Here are some examples.

I've had Leupold for 45 plus years and have sent a few back along with every other brand I've tried. Leupold has always treated me well!

I had a new Leupold that the power ring was hard as heck to turn. I put a throw lever on it and it ended up breaking. Sent scope back to Leupold and they fixed it. Sucks that it will cost you about $15 to ship it to them, but they will fix it.

Exactly this. Leupold fixed one scope for me that had a power stiff ring. Another with the same problem, they replaced the whole scope.

I have a Leupold spotting scope. Cost about 500.00 made in America. It is very hard to adjust the yardage adjustment. I sent it back to Leupold for a repair. They told me they couldn’t fix it as it was within their standards. To say I was pissed off is a understatement!

Thanks for your replies. I don't shoot much anymore.
