Ring marks on scopes

[ozhuntsman]

I have just swapped scopes between rifles and noticed that there are some scratches from the rings on one of th scopes as the rings are now in different spots.

I hate little things like that and was wondering if there is anything i can get to touch it up.

Thanks,

Rifle needs more scratches so you don't worry about THE scratch.

Probably the least number of years any scope of mine has ridden in a set of rings is at least 30.
After that many years they deserve a mark of service.

If it's an old steel tube Weaver, use Birchwood-Casey Presto cold blue touch-up pen.

If it's an anodized aluminum tube, use a black Sharpie pen.

There is also this, but I have not used it so can't say how well it works.

Testors flat black enamel paint is a decent match for touch up; use a super micro fine brush or a toothpick though, and don't put too much on or it could look worse. (globs etc.)

This is why I love the Burris Signature Zee rings. Then I don't have to worry about ring marks.
