John, you didn't have to clear that up on my account because when I read something I usually understand what I read and I sure as hell wouldn't be mis-quoting you here or anywhere else as I deem that disrespectful at the least.
I asked Barsness about that and that's not what he recommends now or in the Optics book he wrote. I don't see why you would do that unless you hunt in temp's of 140 degrees. John told me he dunks scopes in warm water (comfortable to the touch) for 30 seconds or so.
