Rifle Scopes Are March scopes waterproof?

Anybody know?
Can't find mention of it on any website.

Check with Don @ long Range

Long Range Supply, Optics and gear for long range shooting

He just got in some crazy variable power scopes from March.

I would think so, but call Kelbly's and talk to them - they will know for sure!!

For the price it should swim back to you if thown in the lake!

Yes they are waterproof! They are built to the highest standards in the optics market! Even tighter quality/fit tolerances than Nightforce, or Schmidt and Bender.

I'm no optics guru, but I believe that if an optic is fogproof, it is sealed, thus also waterproof. However, a waterproof scope isn't necessarily fogproof, as it could be sealed without the oxygen being purged and replaced with nitrogen or argon.

At the bottom of the spec sheet on this link, indication is that all March scopes are argon gas filled:

So I'll speculate that March scopes are indeed waterproof.


(Didn't see Mr. Kelbly's post prior to mine, but I'll leave mine anyway. He surely knows the correct answer.)

Danco411 just saw your post! Thinking of how we could adapt amphibious swimming qualities and started laughing! I think everyone on here would die laughing if that was possible!
