hI--i HAVE A SIDE PARALLAX SS. HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GREAT SCOPE. hOWEVER, RESCENTLY IT STARTED TO BE FUZZY AT OVER 50 OR 100 YARDS. i DON'T THINK THE lense is dirty. I have no idea what happened to it as it used to be crystal clear and has had no accidents and is just on a 308.
I am new to optics--; Interested to know if there is anything I should try, or If I will have to send it somewhere to be repaired? I love the scope and hope to not send it away. Any tricks to try? Mauserdoc

You mean "fuzzy" like it won't focus, or it like it has condensation inside it, Doc?

It will sort of focus close in, but further out, things stay more indistinct and turning the parallax adjustment doesn't seem to make much difference. close in, the immage is pretty crisp--25 yards or so. Then, past that, looks like you are looking through it with eyes almost closed. It has always been crystal clear before. I don't know if condensation could do this; I put the gun in a dry warm place and it doesn't seem to have helped. Mauserd.

Brother, give the good folks at SWFA a call tomorrow and see what they recommend. Something surely doesn't sound right.
