odvialsy none of you alls have been in the feild with muid on your lens.
what r you gona do????? leave it till you get back to your compressed air and lens pens. no you promply dunk the scope in creek let the current carry the mud off then dry it with your shirt sleave.
ive actualy done this.
i do known when rifle is used enough it made to work as tool. and in pinch if you cant see through the glass you either unsaddle and go home or wipe it off with whatever handy. maybe tp from your pack. or maybe you wear glasses and keep eyeglass cleaner on your body at all times.
ive cleaned lenses with lense pesn and wipes desinged to be best on glass surfaces such as rifle scopes. but when it comes down to it. im doiung this at home. buit ounce in the feild the conditions are dusty wety dry horsesweat. i think horsweat is the worst to clean off a lense.
i dont pack any cleaning supplies. gota use whats handy.
also good glass will hide alot of dirt and grime thats on the lenses. put a quarter on the end of a leupold scope and look through it. you wont see the quarter evern though its covering up alot of glass.
kay im now to point were im gettn good scope covers on all my scopes. i do a good cleaning at home flip the covers shut then head to feild. this keeps my glass much cleaner and longet between cleanings.
but this still didnt help the fact that i dropped my 220 this last weekend with the caps open while i was blwoin on my coyote call and got some dirt and mud on the lense.
stuff happens and in pinch youl scratch lense and be glad you did. if the scopes are cheaper then you may realy scratch a lense.
ive got 4.5-14x40vxIII leo. both lenses are all scratched. but to look through the scope you couldnt ever tell.
one good reason for getting good glass.
