I've seen a few scopes for sale that have been "Frozen" with special mounts that are adjustable. I'm curious as to why someone would do this and if there are benefits to it.
Thanks,

Freezing the reticle, a professional conversion, involved drilling into the tube and installing Delrin(?) screws to lock the reticle. A very effective way to get rid of the nitrogen fill, but probably little else. It eventually fogged up at the range on a cold day. The good folks at Sightron let me trade it in on a new scope.

Well Lloyd, call a few manufacturers and scope repair people. You could enlighten yourself with a little research instead of! Ask them how they sneak it in and capture it.

My scopes are unaltered. I have had a couple frozen in the past. Never had a fogging problem. Why don't you search as I suggested instead of saying things that you evidently have no knowledge? Lloyd, I am smart enough to do a search, are you?
