Does this have any weatherproofing? Will rain kill this scope?

I don't believe it has waterproofing. Simple light rain has not hurt my scope at all. However, extreme temp changes can hurt the scope. The user manual explains this.

I've hunted pigs in the rain with this scope on several occasions and it never failed. Got a big pig last weekend at 0440hrs and it was wet & freezing... No worries mate!

Also...don't be deterred by the "it doesn't work" reviews". This isn't a Walmart slap together scope, it's an electronic piece of tech and care is required by actually reading the functions and directions. Love mine

I have used it on many of hunts in the rain, snow and cold. I would say its weathproof.

It looked like it was weatherproof, but never put it the weather. Returned it for a refund. Its a piece of junk. Doesn't work. Not clear at all, can't make out anything over about 20 yards.

It works perfectly fine in the rain. Nice and clear view..very accurate also. Give it a try

No. I'd imagine it would keep a rifle dry in light to moderate rain realitevly well but it is not sealed and would fill with water if submerged.

Yes it is . I take mine out early morning over by the lake and it does not fog up on me it is a very nice spotting scope

Mine has been fine in heavy rain and snow mounted to the outside of my house with no additional cover. Very happy with the unit.

Honestly, I'm not sure about it being waterproof. Though, it does come with two really nice flip lenses to protect the glass. Yes, the horizontal and vertical adjustments are click adjustable like most traditional scopes. You'll probably need a small flat head screwdriver or dime to adjust the clicks. If I can make another suggestion, depending on what you're mounting this on, look for a UTG picatinny rail that is compatible with your gun. If you have a 10/22, UTG has an awesome aftermarket picatinny rail that's an exact fit.

I can't say for sure for when I used it there was no rain just dew. I do really like it for the money and its tough enough for my needs. Hope it helps!

yes. i have used mine in the rain and it still works great. the only thing i might worry about is the camera and connections. i would cover those just in case.

I would not leave this outside or expose it to water/high moisture conditions. I am not sure but would be surprised if it had any weatherproof indications.

While i do not have one on a muzzle loader i do have one on Weatherby 30-06 and it has been the perfect scope for me extreme clarity very accurate and rarely requires anything more than a slight adjustment every couple of years if then. and thats with a lot of shooting.

I'm not sure of what your question is about ,the housing is weather proof rain drops could spot the outside of the plastic lens. May have a problem if you live where the temps get very cold with pan and focus.

You cannot use this scope in the daytime as it will be damaged. You are able to sight it in with the cover over the objective lens as it has a tiny hole in it the lets enough light in to see the target

No! Not weather proof. READ their manual: Although the cameras are water resistant they are not waterproof. Cameras are intended for use in direct exposure to water, rainor snow. http://www.svat.com/downloads/manuals/CV301-8CH-008-manual.pdf

Hi there, the DA L Kit lens that comes with the K-50 are Weather Resistant. I already have tested it under heavy rain conditions.

This is a NIGHT VISION scope, and it is meant for NIGHT use. It WILL damage it if used when it's lens cover is open in ANY bright light. The lens cover does have a small hole in it which allows you to see through it under ordinary lighting, BUT it is not very clear when used that way, and if it (even) accidentally opened in bright daylight it would probably destroy the scope. The scope is not really meant for daytime usage, and I wouldn't plan on using it at all in daylight.

I have this scope mounted on a Yugo SKS . I have fired over 300 rounds and it still holds zero consistent 1\2in. groups at50 yards.IN a heavy fog and turning into a drizzling rain during a coyote hunt , there was no trace of water in the scope or fogging.

Don't know but nothing's totally weatherproof. I always cover the address with a strip of clear packing tape and voila - it's waterproof.
