Condensation in Nikon Prostaff = dead scope?

Did I kill my scope?

I was elk hunting the other day at around 7,600ft. in a blinding snow squall with just enough snow on the ground to obscure every dang rock, stick and stump. Needless to say, I busted my a** numerous times. Anyway, one of those times, my Prostaff got knocked pretty good. Now I get condensation inside the lenses which goes away when the scope attains ambient air temp. Also, it was way off when I rechecked zero.

What's the prognosis? Dead scope? I hope I can get it zeroed again and make it last through the season. The condensation hasn't been so bad that I can't see through it, yet anyway. But does this mean it is probably DOA?

Thanks

If it's still under warranty, contact Nikon. They may either repair it or send you a new one. If time is a consideration, just rezero it and let the condensation dry out. It'll probably serve for the rest of your hunting season.

Put it in the freezer overnight and checked it again.

Stuff happens........ Return it to their repair center. :)
