Hi wingate
If you require a waterproof scope, Check out this one
Hawke Sport Optics : Endurance Spotting Scopes the optics are fantastic I have found that they are comparible wit the higher end nikons and opticrons and far better than the bressar.
The Scope is a Hawke endurance it is 100% waterproof in its self and it also comes with a protective cover, I have owned mine for about a year and have had know problems at all. (i have shot in very bad conditions with this scope)
I have the 70mm version which is very bright, and very powerful you can see the paper texture on some taget faces at 90m.
When I was looking for a new scope, I spent a month checking out what was about, I ended up in a camera shop in peterborough which specialises in equipment for bird watchers, They put out there whole range for me to test and with the exception of the leica this scope was head and shoulders above the rest. Price Look around but I found that they range from £170 _ £190 and they are worth it.

sorry about being so wordy but this scope is very good kit.

Do waterproof scopes really exist. if the eyepiece is removable, a sealed nitrogen filled tube is ok, but damp air can still mess up the eyepiece which is not a sealed unit especially if it is a zoom one. I am looking to replace my scope. I have been looking at a Bresser Optics.
It even comes with a fitted cover. Will it be waterproof and fog proof in reality. |
