If the scope is in good condition and it is a quality scope you should never get moisture inside unless it is damaged.

Replace it with one that won't do that, that is the best way.

Sometimes if you let them sit in a warm room for while it will come out, but it will just do it again because it has a leak somewhere.

put it in the oven... lol. Well maybe if you put it in the oven, with the door open, and temp at the lowest setting...... I dont know if I would recommend it tho.

Ok, I thought of a way, beat it against a rock until it breaks open, then use a hair dryer. I would suggest taking it off the rifle first though.

hes exactly right if there is condensation in your scope you have something wrong with it, get a new one.

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 wouldn't even waste my time with it. Just go get a better quality scope.
