[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 2390226, member: 29323"] Forty years ago I had a Redfield fog up on me. They fixed it, but it cost me a deer. I had iron sights I had sighted in years before, but somewhere along the line I had banged the sight on a rock and broke off the top of the sight. I never noticed until I needed it, since I used the scope. I switched to Leupold scopes on all my rifles and have never had an issue since. At the end of a Colorado hunt, I tripped over a root in the dark and fell face first into a stream, on top of my rifle. I went to the range the next day, and it was still spot on. One big advantage of Leupold is they are light. In my old age, I hunt with light rifles, and it just seems silly to put a heavy scope on a light rifle. [/QUOTE]
