[QUOTE="shaughn, post: 1531599"] Old scopes like the Mechanical (Unertl/Lyman/Litshert etc) have an issue with the glues failing and allowing the lenses to separate. Some early coatings would yellow or attain a off color, had a couple mid 80's era scopes do that...but I can't remember who made them. I carry a lense brush and a small can of dust off and it seems to do the job, a company offered one use lense cleaning wipes for optics came 100 to pack, just like alcohol wipes. Butler Creek style caps live on most of my scopes now, even found ones that will fit some of the offbeat sizes ww2 military scopes are know to have. [/QUOTE]
