What does that have to do with “eye cups”?

l

Don't expose the scope to H20 w/o the eye cups in place. Non warranty damage can occur.

I’ve run one for 10 years. Beat it to death. Still holding zero and tracking just fine.

"Protective caps" doesn't mean what you think it means.

Are you sure it isn't referring to the lenscover?

 

[BCsteve]

Turret covers then?

Yes, not the rubber lens protector or whatever you're calling eye cups.

 

[JF_Idaho]

And I'm sure that's only in reference to the capped turrets being unsealed, not the exposed turrets on some SHV series.

Yes.

I’ve had my SHV in rain,sleet and snow and it’s been perfectly fine. Still tracking and crystal clear.

I'll reach out to NF and find out. I believe it is this is the cover they are referring to - "Eyepiece Flip-Up Lens Caps."

Do you think those are more waterproof than the lenses that are sealed in and hold gas in the tube?

Or are they referring to the turret caps on models that don't have exposed turrets which use o-rings to seal the mechanism?

Which makes more sense?

 

[mt100gr.]

I have 2 3-10 SHV scopes that have seen a lot of snow and wet conditions and I never even took the rubber caps out of the box. Had one out recently in a downpour with the turret caps off - I was checking targets a few hundred yards away when it opened up and dumped - i wouldn't do that on purpose. But the scope is fine. They're plenty sealed.

No. It’s not. It’s the turret covers on non-dialing scopes.

 

[Bater]

NF is obviously referring to the turret caps, has been comical to read some of the comments though...

Did you reach out to nightforce? I see you have posted that the SHV is "not a sealed scope" in at least a couple threads. Anything you want to clear up?

I reached out to NF and the SHV is sealed from H20.
Please accept my apologies for the incorrect statements - I was wrong.
Enclosed is their reply.
