Lids for Scopes when Not in Use:
Be sure to store your scope covered when not in use. It will protect it from dust, dirt and water. When not in use,always keep the lens cap clean. You may also use a cover or bag to protect your scope. Keep your scope in a sturdy, safe place where it won’t be pushed over or stepped on.
Avoiding Dropping Your Scope:
Arguably one of the deadliest threats to your scope is dropping or bumping it. You might scratch or even shatter your scope if it falls. Be cautious when plugging you scope in for the first time and always secure the scope. Keep your Optic scope in a safe place where it won’t be moved if you are moving around.
Selecting the Perfect Case or Bag:
Use a good case or bag to keep your scope safe when you're not using it. You’ll want a case that has padding and multiple compartments to store your scope safely. A decent case will also feature a strap or handle so you can carry it out with ease. Ensure the case fits your scope snugly so that it won’t slide or shift.
Regular gear rinsing, cleaning and lubrication:
Your long-range scope requires regular cleaning and care in order to continue performing in top form. Wipe the lenses regularly with a soft cloth to clear off dirt and dust. If you have smudges or fingerprints, you can use a lens cleaning solution. Check your scope for any screws that are loose and tighten them if necessary. If you care for your scope, then it will last longer.
Using Lens Caps and Covers:
Be sure to use the Lens caps and covers you have the scope in use with it. The lens caps will protect the lenses from scratches and dirt.
