Has this been done successfully, or is it being explored? If not, by not? Seems to me there might be some advantages to CF for lightweight scopes, but I am not knowledgeable. Just wondering.

Join the contest SubscribeDoes anyone know of wrapping a scope in carbon fiber would improve heat dissipation?
I've never know heat build-up to be an issue in scopes during normal use. Do you have a specific scenario in mind?
What about doing a vinyl wrap, like I did to the hood on my STI. Would that make the scope lighter like carbon fiber, but still strong like the underlying tube?
Hi,
Explanation please.....
Sincerely,
Theis
So when I wrapped my STI hood with a dry-carbon I found that my car was 75lbs lighter. This is because carbon fiber is lighter than its underlying material. The carbon fiber then combined the strength from the hood and the light weight properties of the carbon fibers, making a light weight and stronger product.
Why wouldn’t this same thing happen with a scope tube. Lighter and stronger using only like $10 in material from eBay.
