Several years back Some of the best riflescopes were filled with N2 gas to prevent fogging during temperature changes.
Why won't it work the same way in a SC with the filter cell closed? yes/no/why This is my first post to the forum but read it fathfully every day.

Does anyone know about this lens system and how good it is.
I have a nice 5.25" cell with a short(18")FL and wondering if it might make a very nice Rich Field Scope.
Thanks for any info. :S
