I want the replacements but I am worried that they’ll be warped as well. I’ll send them tomorrow and we’ll see.

It’s a bit of a pain but I don’t see myself changing the lenses that much. I have one polarized and the other for low light.
The smaller (ocular) lenses seem clearer that the larger (objective) lenses. It almost seems like the larger…Read more

Low and behold that was the problem. The filament was on there like tint on a window so I had to take a knife to the edge of it to get it started but now, all is well.

The overall quality is not excellent. However, they do fit nicely on the scope and having the polarized lens makes an incredible difference when shooting in the sun. Everything is plastic including the lenses and they don’t operate the way I initially thought. The caps come with two lenses, one grey and the other yellow for low…Read more

I noticed that the spike on the adaptor seems to have a small concave indentation on the tip. I am assuming this was caused by the CO2 valve pin. Perhaps they are using too soft of a metal.

I know it passed 1990. The dive shop said it would only be a problem if it was before that.

If the scuba tank is 3000psi and I am filling to 3000psi, wouldn’t it figure that the pressure would equalize very quickly only allowing a few fills and leaving the scuba tank pretty full?
