Foggy lense.

The other day I had a lense on my .243 scope (redfeild) fog up in this damp rainy weather. The other scope on the 22-250 didn't fog up. What can I do to stop this? Supposed to be treated for this.

    I sure dont recommend you buy a new scope,your talking about very high quality optics.I would make arrangements to send it back to the factory for repair,as their is nothing you can do to prevent it.If you are refering to the out side of the lens I use never fog on mine about twice a yr and never have any problems.


    Good Luck!!

    If the condensation is outside use a product for keeping condensation off eyeglasses, check with Aglore.

    If it is inside, repair or replace; you have lost the airtight seal, the nitrogen gas has leaked out and moisture laden air has gotten in. It will not get better on its own.

    If it is not a new Redfield, but older, I don't believe Blount who now owns Redfield will repair, you will need to seek another. This may help: ABO (USA), phone 305.860.4858 www.abousainc.com
    they work on older Redfields.

    It was on the outside. Was afraid to wipe anything on the coated lense. I know the coatings can be damaged by certain chemicals. Thanks.
