Fog in the scope means moister inside. You can try and dry it out, take the rear lens off and using a hair drier heat the tube and the lens separate. Do not blow air inside it may damage the cross hairs. You can try and pressurize the tube so it will not happen again. You will need a large clear zip lock baggy the biggest you can find. Once your scope has been heated with the hair drier. Put the scope in the bag. and try to draw out all the air inside. You can use a Vacuum cleaner. if you get enough air out you can reinstall the adjustment lens on and the tube should stay in a vacuum for a season or two. You can also put vasiline on the threads to help seal the vacuum. You can also try to use gas, you can use gas from a paint ball gun cylinder to pressurize the scope. Put the scope in the bag pressurize the bag and reassemble the scope with the gas inside.

Fog in the tube means that one of the o-ring seals has cracked and let the nitrogen gas out and let damp air in during the warming and cooling cycles of use so the sight would need to be disassembled to check for damaged seals and recharged with an inert gas
seals you could do yourself purging and recharging very difficult

Is there a lifetime warranty? What is wrong when it is starting to get cloudy?

Click here for a page on the warranty info for Tasco Rifle Scopes. The scope getting cloudy can mean moister has gotten inside and it has fogged up. Hope this Helps Fix Ya up.

Scope is a 1995 year model. Optics got blurry this season.

could be the the eye sight adjustment piece at the front of the scope got turned some how , try turning the lens piece to focus ... If it looks like fog , it is probably the nitrogen has leaked out, you will have to return it for repair..

Recently hunting in the rain and scope became completely fogged up inside and will not clear

to be honest its only a cheap tasco scope and to get it fixed and re-gased wont be worth it, so you just as well have a go at it your self,, look at the scop tube and you will find a screw in the tube this is the re-gas port undo the screw and put the scop some were in a very warm place,,,dont cook it?
when its fully dryed out get some carbon dioxide gas (for blowing out cameras) and puff the gas into the scope to forse out any bamp air ,,,refit re-gas screw,,,,this may work till you get it wet again

Scope is fogging up

Either use an anti-fog wipe on it, such as Scope Dope... or don't breathe heavily on your lenses!

Scope fogged up on the inside and i cant see out of it. while hunting in the winter the scope fogged up. now that it is getting warm out it cleared up.

The gas inside the scope has leaked out. Moisture condenses in the cold weather and fogs up your optics when this happens. Send the scope to the manufacturer and they will warranty it. All scope manufacturers have real good competitive warranties. TP

Lens Fogging Issue

Apparently this is NOT a waterproof rifle scope. I would return it as you will have this same problem only worse out in the field. Buy a waterproof nitrogen filled rifle scope.
