Had he not repeatedly told us, we might never have known that one of our own campfire members, "Boxer", cpn, ranks as one of the world's great photographers, philosophers, humour writers and phishermen!
Now, as his degenerative condition worsens, with some days bad and others worse, it could be a good time for his legions of fan and admirer to post reminisces of phavorite postings by Boxer, cpn. These postings, no doubt punctuated phrequently by witty submissions from Boxer, cpn himself, will pay tribute to the diminuitive giant among us.
Though the organizational meeting of the BOXER,CPN phan club phailed phor lack of quorum, or anyone, to be precise, I have magnanamously stepped up to carry it phorward.
Since you started this thread.. What's your reaction to the fact that your scope cover fails to protect scopes in a wet environment?
Hi Calvin, we are trying to move the Boxer discussion to the Fan Club thread, so that back on the scope cover thread, we can discuss scope covers. It takes a bit of work, but we are getting there.
Neoprene is not waterproof and everyone knows it, although the nylon coating helps. Neoprene does wick, and that is its function, as well as to keep direct impact of moisture or debris from the lenses. Have you tried one yet?
You have found the last scope cover you will ever need. ScopeShieldstm are incredibly different from other neoprene full-body covers in that not only do they "slingshot" off the scope instantly, they still retain on your rifle via the ingeniously simple "keeper" loop. (Pat Pending)
No more fumbling in the field when a sudden shot opportunity arises. No more obscured, wet or foggy scope lenses. And no fretting about what to do with your lense cover. It stays with you and your rifle!
So, if it's not waterproof, how can we not "fret" about foggy scope lenses with your product.
So this was started just as a way to bash someone? It would appear to be a waste of Ricks site, as are all personal attack threads. Especially when we have guys on here with life and death struggles going on. Better to spend our time directing our energy to help the ones needing support.

Pardon me for being confused.
Hey, don't be wasting a perfectly good personal attack thread with desire for actual, you know, knowledge.
Boxer = Big Stick = 406_SBC(the nicest of the bunch)
I see why he is so good at smoking out multiple personalities. It is simply stunning.
I really need me a good alter ego.
Glad you're impressed.
Are you related?
I rather hope I am not related to Lil Fish. But that being said I do have relatives that are not exactly the salt of the earth. In fact I reckon I could do worse than my buddy Lil Fish if push came to shove.
I seem more inclined to want to shoot in front of fellows than he is but I am not sure that is simply a DNA thing or more of an �I really like to shoot thing�.
If you are asking if we (as in you and I) are related I am more inclined to use my name when posting on the internet but hey who knows? Who are you?

Good questions all, Calvin. There is no contact between the lenses and a properly fitted ScopeShield. Water does not transfer from the neoprene to the lens in a wet environment. Total immersion would be a different matter! Lens fogging occurs when lens temperatures fall below the dew point at a given humidity. The small insulative value of neoprene nonetheless inhibits the crossing of this temperature threshhold by the scope body, and consequently the glass itself. I will post a more thorough discussion of the causes of fogging, some of which are not intuitive. Hope this helps, but if not, keep the questions coming.
