Does some Burris riflescopes have hydrophobic coatings?

Hj, I don't know about hydrophobic coatings but the matte they're using now on the outside is really pitiful. It looks like a faded matte finish. I've got 3 different colored matte rings and it doesn't match any of them. Maybe I'm too particular but I really like for the bases and rings to match closely...like Leupold. powdr

I do not see it advertised anywhere by Burris so doubt they have it.

Yes of course I meant lens coatings. For some older models they had something called Stormcoat., but not anymore,

That's when you got it so bad you even have to alphabetize the diagnosis...

I've got a purple Leupold scope. Nothing matches it.
