[QUOTE="gandytron, post: 3519942, member: 47750"] Interestingly, the two US websites I just looked at state that the MM3 is nitrogen-filled, see: [url]https://www.eagleoptics.com/products/opticron-mm3-50-ga-ed-angled-spotting-scope[/url] [url]https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1188274-REG/opticron_41151_mm3_50_ga_ed_45.html[/url] However websites that I have looked at in the UK simply state that the MM3 is rainproof, as they seem to have simply copied and pasted the text from the Opticron marketing team. If the MM3 is indeed not nitrogen-filled, Opticron/BHPhoto/Eagle Optics better get their story straight before somebody instructs a lawyer...! Perhaps (hopefully!!!) there is some simple explanation and this is a misunderstanding, but to me as somebody who's looking at buying a travel scope this year, this seems very confusing and does not instill confidence in the manufacturer's transparency.
