Bass Pro RedHead Pursuit Target Scope

Reedman

Anyone know if they are waterproof/fogproof or just weather resistent? They are currently on sale and seem that they would be good for a small caliber varmint gun.

No, I don't know, but you could do a couple things to try to find out.

First, go online to the Bass website and see if that scope is listed there for sale. Many times, there is more data on the website than in a catalog. But, maybe you have been looking online(?).

Second, call the order desk. They probably have a toll-free phone number. Ask the order-taker person your questions. Many times the data in the sales system has updated info consisting of notes and other information that was plugged into the item description data by techs who are tired of answering the same question repeatedly. Or, it can be notes and data inserted by other order-takers who encountered previous questions by customers and they had to research the answers. I have found that the order desk can be very helpful regardless of who you are ordering from. Also, if the order desk can't answer your question, they may be able to refer you to a technical service desk that can answer the question.

The redhead pursuit scopes are multicoated but not to a high degree as the price of the scope will show you. They are weather resistant and will stand up to a bit of abuse, especially on a varmint gun. The prusuit is also a great value for the money as they have many of the same options as other scopes costing twice as much. For a fully coated redhead scope you would need to look at the Epic line, they are not much more expensive but they are a much better scope.

You really do want a fully multicoated scope. Here is why: The coating each allow light of a particular wave length to pass into or out of a lens. Without coatings a large percentage of light is reflected or refracted (bent) at EACH air/glass interface. In a rifle scope there can be five or six glass elements creating 10-12 glass/air interfaces. At each one of those some light will be reflected and refracted and in a sense be left bouncing around inside the scope. Refractions distort, and reflections haze the image you see. Uncoated optics may transmit perhaps 80% of the light striking the objective through to your eye. The best fully multicoated scopes can tansmit as much as 96%. At the edges of the day the extra light and the extra clarity can make the difference in shooting that deer or not.
