Kowa scope a-peel.........

[Ferris451]

It's interesting to see another shooter with a high-priced Kowa spotting scope with the 'stickies'. The rubbery finish on this nigh-on $2000 scope had first gone sticky, and then peeled off. My own 80mm Kowa scope - a then top-of-the-line version with fluorite glass and an eye-watering price at the time of purchase began to get sticky after a couple of years use - INSIDE the Kowa protective cover. Thinking it might just be 'sweating' I left it off, in the hope that it might 'heal' itself.

Nope.

In frustration I sent it back to the UK agents a for a check-up and to my amazement, when it was returned the body had been wrapped in Glad-wrap kitchen-type stuff.

Hyper unimpressed, me.

I own the same scope , I wrapped a camo vet wrap around it …it stretches over it well.

That rifle is a Ferris, made by the guy in the picture shooting it. Lee Shaver out of MO. I dont see that they are offered on his web site anymore. I do know that he still makes them.

Ferris if memory serves me correctly was an American gun builder and built at least one long range ML.

Lee is the new Capitan of the USA long range ML team.

I have heard those rifles shoot well.
