Scope fogging up on the inside???

[bull_dogg]

I have a vari-zone scope on my deer slayer. The other day me and my girlfirend went to the range. And my scope was all fogged up on the inside does anyone know what causes that?? My scope is only 3 years old.

Moisture got in there somehow. I left a Horton and a V-zone out one night in La, both were covered w/ dew the next am. We don't get dew in my part of Ar. The Horton 4x was trashed, but the V-zone was fine.

Time for a free replacement.

Thats not good! I hope you get it figured out, I had a bushnell scope that did the same thing, I dont know how moisture got in it but it did. Maybe try some fog x or something. Good luck.

Lifetime warranty. Give them a call.

Give Dan Miller a call {740-483-2312} He will get you a new one under warranty.

While you have Dan on the phone, ask him if he has any alternatives to solving the problem.

You might try sealing the scope in with moisture removing desiccant. The reusable silica gel comes to mind.

Don't bother trying to fix it. A seal has failed. If you manage to extract the moisture (which I doubt you could), it will just return unless the failed seal(s) are replaced.

Get it replaced. Now. So you are ready for hunting season.

You're lucky that Excalibur backs their products. If the scope wasn't damaged or abused I'm sure they will take care of the problem.

I've had a few scopes fog internally over the years.
Two choices when that happens. Send it back if it is under warranty, or throw it in the garbage can if it isn't.

fog on the inside is bad news. Look for the warrenty
