Hello, I recently acquired a Leupold M8 4X. Probably made in the 70s or 80s, not sure.
It is in excellent shape and there is no sign of ring marks. The lenses have no scratches,etc.
I am going to mount it on a vintage deer rifle but don't know if the gas or seals are still functional. In Pa we get all kinds of weather extremes and I would like to test it first to see if it will fog inside before mounting it. If it does fog inside, I'll ask Leupold to fix it.
Has anyone done the freezer test? If so I would really appreciate how to go about the correct procedure...Thanks, JJ
