is this scope waterproof?

I've only used it under cover at the range. I don't know if it's waterproof.

Not sure. I have never used it in the rain or around water. The instructions said when not in use, keep away from direct sunlight and moisture. Due to the structure of the scope, I can see water being an enemy to it. If moisture was to get inside, it would fog the lens thus probably messing it up. Mold etc.. So I would say no. If a few drops of rain were to hit it while out scoping, just wipe it off and put the scope up nice and dried. I hope that answered your question.

The 20-60x60SE Spotting Scope also features fully multi-coated optics and a nitrogen-purged, rubber-armored body that's submergible in water up to one meter and 100 percent weatherproof and fogproof.

I believe its water resistance. I have used this scope in the light rain, and in -10 weather. Didn't have an issue.

Yes it is waterproof. I mounted it on my ATV and used it outside in rain and snow to operate a winch.

I would not call it all waterproof. The receiver and servos are pretty well sealed but the battery and motor are removable and exposed. There is a splash guard on the motor and the battery connection is splash proof but it would not work for long under water. My kids run it through puddles and mud all day without a problem. Upgraded the battery to a lipo for quicker charging and longer run times.

I don't think it's waterproof, I return mine after I tested on the range, the quality was not what I expect.

No... it is not waterproof. You can use the Sylus 740 with the waterproof casing.

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.

Ask the manufacturer or check out their website and see if that is a model specification. If it doesn't say it is waterproof, then it isn't. We are frequently looking for birds early in the morning and go to a wetland area in a fairly humid climate and it has not seemed to have a detrimental effect on the binocular or its optics. I certainly wouldn't drop it in a tub to find out and would not use them in a heavy downpour. Nikon is a pretty reliable manufacturer tending on the high end of the quality scale so ambient humid conditions should not be an issue but, again, rely on the manufacturer's claims and warranty information.

Sorry to say that it is not waterproof. I bought this light for duck hunting, where we walk around in a flooded marsh. There is often drizzle, fog or rain. Thankfully, I have not tripped and caused the light to go underwater. Even so, it was getting fogged up inside the clear lens after each outing. I then applied silicone sealant around the clear lens and around the right and left aluminum heat exchangers. I also wrapped the front bezel assembly with tape, where the black bezel meets the gray body. This has prevented the light from fogging up! Hope this helps someone!

As to "rainproof" don't know, but it is dustproof. Spent two weeks in Africa and that place is dusty. Guns where clean and they arrived without having to recalibrate the scopes. Has a rubber "o" ring seal around the lid. Had double rifles and did not go over the weight limit, with one case. Recommend it for travel.

I'm not sure. It is big. I wish it was much smaller. Your use might be different. It is not very portable. I haven't noticed any fogging. Just be sure that want a scope this large. The price was right. I'd be more favorable if I were more into rifle shooting.

I don't know. I only had this scope mounted on my rifle for 1 day, when I saw a metal flake in the objective lens that kept moving around. I sent it back 3 weeks ago with a $25 inspection fee and haven't seen it since. I strongly urge you to consider another scope.

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 got rained on once and it worked perfectly still, no fog and no water got inside of it plus it took me 8 shots with a 159 grain charge to get it dialed in dead on at 100 yards and it took all that abuse and still held perfectly after that.

I think it's water proof. I mounted mine on the chassis and it is working fine. Only had in use for a few weeks now.

Yes . the scope has a lifetime warranty to be free of defects in material and workmanship of the original owner

It has a decent O ring on the barrel. I'd say it's safely water resistant for normal use, but I wouldn't dive with it. It's a great light!

Yes, the optics on the scope are excellent. I think the main thing youwould be concerned with is having the right mounting for the scope.
