Nikon scope is leaking !! ??

Post by vpsaline »

I'm in the middle of checking my gear ahead of the upcoming season and to my surprise when cleaning the lenses of my scopes I noticed some liquid buildup on the front lens. I was stumped then I noticed fluid leaking from the bell itself. This is looking like a warranty issue I think. Has anyone seen this before? The scope has been reliable for many years now, this is a first!

Nope, but contact Nikon immediately to get it back before the season starts.

Good Luck!

Since Nikon is no longer in the scope business, is there a warranty?
