Rifle Scopes Scope Problem

[counterfietgod]

I recently bought a Leopold Mark 4 fixed 10 power scope. I mounted it to my rifle and took it to the range. I zeroed it in and then brought it home and placed it snugly in my safe. I have taken it out several times to the range for some bench shooting. (no rough activity.) Well I took it yesterday to shoot some targets to find that the picture through the scope seemed really, really, light. It was almost as though I had a dust build up on the lens (cleaned with dust brush and it didn't help.) I thought well maybe it was the sunshade so I removed it but that didn't help either. I haven't dropped it and there is no apparent damage on the scope itself. Can anyone give me some idea what might be the problem? It is really almost foggy but I don't think it is fog because I tried warming and cooling the scope.

thanks

Re: Scope Problem

Did you buy it new? Send it back to Leupold they do have outstanding customer service, even if you bought it used they will fix it.

Re: Scope Problem

maybe there is some moisture inside? if you bought it new, i would ship it back to them. if you bought it used, i would still contact them. they might be able to help.
