Never had this happen to me before!
« on: June 25, 2008, 07:08:00 PM »
Been real rainy and humid the last week or so here in southern Miami. Went to shoot my B26 this evening. Took her out of the case, pulled the can of pellets out of the side pocket. Picked up the gun and it was ALL WET!! What the heck?!?! Then I felt the barrel.....kinda cold! Wow! The AC is on in the bedrooms because someone is always in there. The cold gun hit the hot, thick, humid air and instant condensation! Looked thru the scope and couldn't see zip! Never had really good AC in a house before now. Gotta remember to take out my gun(s) from now on to preheat/thaw? Wiped it down good after, don't want any rust. Strange......

Research, use the right tools, take your time, and do it right the first time!

I've had that happen to me a couple of times with my deer rifles after I walked back into the nice warm house after being out in the freezing weather all day with the rifle.  Just wipe it down real good and leave it out of the case for awhile so that the moisture that you can't see on the metal will dissipate.  The scope should clear up after a while....
