Do not use paper towels to wipe any quality optics.
I won't even use them on sunglasses.
Get a lenspen that has a brush on one end to remove dust (eastern WA volcanic soil is actually fine grit and does a great job of scratching glass surfaces) and carry a microfiber wipe (many sunglasses include a microfiber bag to be used as a wipe).
If you invest in good glass, take proper care of it.
I know your right, but thats how I roll. :chuckle:

I use Butler Creek covers so normally don't need to dry off my scope's lenses. But if it's really wet, sometimes it's needed, especially when an animal is spotted and the covers are flipped open to be ready for a shot. I don't think it hurts much to dry the lenses with whatever you have. I usually use toilet paper. But I don't wipe vigorously, just lightly dab the lenses. I've never scratched my scope doing that.

I do the same Bobcat :tup:. Also I'm rarely hunting more than 300yards max.  The key for me, is to not play with anyones brand new stuff. That way I don't know what I'm missing :chuckle:. I made the mistake of carrying Gundogrs gun for him while he was dragging his deer out.......mannn his gun was light :chuckle:

I use Badlands Bino cases and keep a lens pen and a microfiber cloth in each.  I never hunt w/o a binocular so it is pretty easy to just be prepared in this way.  The smaller Badlands case does not have a microfiber cloth  permanently attached, like the two larger ones do - I just throw a cloth in the bottom of the case in a small ziplock in that one.
