New scope! You might be able salvage this season by leaving in garage or something so dont have contrast in temp. to cause condensation. Good luck!

I agree, we used to leave our guns outside so they wouldn't fog up. New scopes are nitrogen or argon filled now and this shouldn't happen. You get what you pay for when it comes to scopes my friedn. Leupold is as low as I will go in the scope food chain. Zeiss or swarovski are great but pricey.



That's the Best advice you can get. Throw that simmons on a 22 and be done with it. Deer hunting requires too much energy spent to have a shot blown by a piece of crap scope. its cheap insurance. You can buy a leupold 2x7 used for 100 bucks or so and its still lifetime guaranteed not to do what this one did to you.

yeah, a simmons that came with a rifle is apt to fog up, or malfunction/come up short in some or many other ways. spend about $200-$400 on a new scope and you won't have that problem again.

My buddy had a Bushnell on his shotgun last year that would fog up at first and last light every day no matter what.Talked to one of there reps at BPS he gave me there address sent the scope in with $10.00 for shipping and handelling a month later he had a brand new scope.

I'd wrap it in a sheet, put that in a big hunting sock then stick it upright in a metal bucket that you then fill with kitty litter.
Put it in a warm place for a couple days .......this will work. But probably only temporarily.

or

.... after that amount of time the cats will have crapped all over it and you'll have a reason to upgrade.

An old Gunsmith in our area instructed me to take my fogged scope and put it in the freezer. Left it in there over the summer and have never had a problem since.

must be a common problem , i got a savage 110 rifle / scope combo in .30-06 and mine did the same thing yesterday

i am replacing it for next year .

Time to take the $20 scope off the rifle, and upgrade.

I love my old 1x4 Redfield scope. No problems wiht it at all. And the spider web cross hairs are stronger than wire. No fogging either

Thats what I have on my Browning BLR 358 tones. If I could find a 3X9X40 Redfield that is what my father had on his 358. I have his orginal 358 but he bought a newer one in Aluminium and now my brother has it with the 3X9.

Cant beat a good Redfield Scope
