Default Fog on inside of Scope...??

How do I get it out.. I dont know what happened..

I can't get it out.. The only time it goes away, which isn't always, is when i take it outside and it gets COLD..

You can't. Depending on who made it... it's possible to do it. You'll have to send it off or whatever. If it's a good quality scope it's covered by warranty. If not and it's still a decent scope, the manufacturer will take care of it. You'll pay a minimum of shipping one way more than likely unless it's one of the biggies with a great customer service plan. However, it sounds like you have a cheap POS and you're stuck.

MB, its probably condensation. Sounds like the scope is broken somewhere. Crossbows are pretty hard on scopes I can imagine. Unless its under warranty, its probably time for a new one. Even if the condensation goes away temporarily, there is a reason it happened...seals are bad, gas is out (if it has gas), etc. It will happen again.

should have put a red dot on it. Sounds like one of the seals went bad. Send it to the MFG, theyll take care of it.

If your talking a scope like what would be on a gun then it is junk. The only option to fix it it to send it back and have them re seal it.

Once they leak they leak, if you can get the fog out it will just come back again as you discovered. Normally the best fix is a new scope of better quality.
