Elevation cap srew broke, Bushnell Banner, 20 yrs old 3x9x38

Screw has about 5/8" dia. domed screw slot head. About a 1/4" long (about 1/4-20 thread). Holds the bullet compensation and/or elevation mechanism on the top of the scope. I called Bushnell and they laughed. If you have a scope more than 5 years old, good luck!!! The SAME screw is use on almost all their scopes. But Bushnell can't look it up cause it's too old. I'm thinking of telling them it's newer or another model (newer), except I do have the 6 digit model# for for newer scope. Excellent scope. I don't want to lose it, because of a 39 cent screw !!!!!!

Take it to a well stocked hardware store and see if they have a screw that will work.

Would you believe the exact same thing happened to me yesterday?
I just went on line to get part number for plastic part and this is what i see. Disappointed I am. So i will fix in my own way - If you have the old cap drill out the stem and leave a hole where the thread was and buy a "short" 1/4 20 bolt and nut and use to secure cap to scope - i.e screw in bolt thru cap and snub cap with locknut to grip bullet drop compensator ring. This assumes screw is 1/4 20 as indicated. If not Bushnell may be able to provide thread type or hardware store may have a range of bolts - pitch till you win - Some camera tripod screws are 1/4 20 with nerled nobs this may also work but you should be able to get er back better than new - paint the screw & nut black
I agree scope is too good to discard and was disappointed Bushnell was not more helpful
Let me know if this works for you - i have not done yet -

Need a screw for a rifle scope. Lost it.

Hello, David -

I suggest you locate a local firearms repair business / gunsmith. No doubt such a business stocks the right size scr3w (have to spell it that way because the Fixya.com algorithm blocks it as a "bad word") you need.

Best wishes.

Bushnell banner lite site, how do you change the battery?

The battery is located inside the rotary switch on top of the eyepiece lens housing.
You have to grip the lower half of the switch with a few fingers of one hand and turn the cap off counter-clockwise with a coin inserted into the coin slot of the cap.
After you've replaced the battery (CR2032) put a very tiny amount of silicone grease on the O-ring on the cap, then replace the cap carefully avoiding cross threading the cap. You don't have to tighten it very much, just make sure the o-ring seats tightly.

Bushnell Trophy scope on BLR .308 -- was fine when last used but now shoots 4 ft high at 100 yards and elevation screw is maxed out -- doesn't seem to have moved in rings and no visible sign of damage --

Rap it on its nose. Us a good screw driver and just give it a tap, not so hard to dent it but a good smack. with the handle. If this does not work remove it smack it, then remount, putting the rings is a small bit different location.

Bushnell banner elevation maxed out

It sounds as if your Scope rings are out of alignment or the front ring is lower than the rear ring. You may be able raise the bottom of the front ring by inserting a shim under the front ring base.

Bushnell Banner .22 scope with loose part inside.

It would be better to replace the minute you disassemble a scope unless resealed with special equipment it will never function as well nor will it be reliable and for a bushnell by time you payed for shipping to and from a repair place you'd be at cost of new so might as get new one which has newer glass types that are vastly better than 20 yrs ago

Cannot sight in riflescope for elevation, adjustment is maxed out

Try reversing the rings. Move the back one to the front, and the front one to the back. Turn your elevation adjustment, back to -0-, and start again.
