Scopes and Porting

[Brian Williams]

I am going to put a Leupold 2x scope on my Taurus Tracker and I was wondering if the porting will cause a problem on the front of the scope. Would it be a good idea to get either a camera lens uv filter or some type of sunshade for the front of the scope.

Would the porting cause a problem if I used a Millet red dot.

I think a sacrificial filter would be a very good idea.
Otherwise, liable to lose the coating on the objective lense.
