I've got an old Redfield Widefield 2-7 that has a little bit of fogging on the inside. I only noticed it after I gently washed the dusty lenses in soapy water. I have no idea if that is what ultimately did it in or not, but that doesn't matter. The seals were somewhat distorted as if they melted a little bit or were squeezed out too much.
It's still plenty clear and useable, but I'd like to get an idea of how much it would cost to get refurbished with new seals and a fresh fill of nitrogen or whatever inert gas they use.
It's in good cosmetic shape overall for a used hunting scope, so I don't need any work done on the outside.
It's really pretty low on the priority list so I'm not looking to spend too much on it, but I would like it done properly. I'm mostly tire kicking, but if I can find a company to do it cheap enough I'd like to get it done.
I've looked around and there are threads on this topic, but most are a bit old and possibly out of date.
