Title: Salvage foggy scope?
Post by: Kola16 on August 17, 2011, 08:43:27 PM: I have an old bushnell scope that is fogged up. Is there anything that I can salvage out of it that might be useful.

That scope fogged up while I was hunting and I had to get a new scope from a local sports store were I was hunting. :bash: I am keeping the rings. But could I make something cool out of the lenses or somrthin

I had a similar 4x bushnell drop a reticle on me a few years back. We contacted bushnell and they said to send it in and they would estimate a cost for fixing it. I wouldnt do it though, might as well save that money for nicer scope.

Last year A Bushnell scope that my Grandfather baught about 35 years ago foged up. We sent it in and now have a brand new scope. Some people rag on bushnel, but they have worked well for us for alot of years.
