Default RE: Scope fogging up!!!

You can either buy a different scope, or try to breathe through your nose.

I had a bad problem with my scopes fogging up (even LEUP's!!!) when I first started shooting. I wasn't huffing, but I was breathing through my mouth, so it all went right up on the scope.

I started breathing through my nose, my shooting improved and my scopes quit fogging up. I also typically wear a facemask or bandana worn "bandit style" during the cold winters, this helps and you can breath any way you want. Just make sure it's tight over the top of your nose so you don't get air coming out through the eye holes.

Almost all scopes will fog up when you first take them outside, or when you first bring them inside. ABSOLUTELY NEVER PUT A COLD GUN IN A CASE!! It's asking for rust, put it in the case, bring it inside and don't let it air out, you're going to get terrible condensation on your gun.
