Just triple checking before I take it into some pretty adverse weather tomorrow, but these scopes ARE water/fog/cold proof, right?   And if so, how much?

I had mine fog up for 15 minutes once, but that was because i was shooting in a sleet/rain storm in 34 degree weather and then brought  the gun into a 72 degree apartment in a soaking wet case.  I am pretty sure any other optic would have reacted the same.  

It did not affect the optic adversely in the long term, and it has never fogged up when using it outside in rain storms (at least three) or snow (at least twice) or high humidity.

In general, it will be fine.

Wait, fog on the outside...or fog on the inside???

34 and rain is 80% of the weather here

Sorry, I meant ofgging on the outside.  Never had any issue with fog/moisture on the inside, the scopes are nitrogen purged.
