One fashion or some other, it needs to get back to the manufactory.

Whatever story yous tell them (or not) is upwardly to you.

Adults recognize that when you screw up, y'all own upward and you pay upwards. Children prevarication. If y'all broke it, why pretend you didn't? They'll figure information technology out anyway...how do you lot recall they make full these things?

I've non tried the "Dust-Off" method just I would be surprised if you could displace enough Oxygen to make a difference.

Don't "fix" it if information technology works...

Some things are best when treated similar a sore dick... DON'T FUCK WITH IT.

I wouldn't send it in for repair knowing I fucked it up and not tell them. Nearly likely they will recharge it for free and send it dorsum even if you tell them. They'll probably be happy if you're up forepart with them and don't take to go through the whole telescopic as another member pointed out. Worst instance scenario yous pay them a few bucks to purge it.

Redneckbmxer24 summed it up perfectly. I'm trying non to berate you ( demolitionman ) – but your actions beg the question of "WTF we're yous thinking", (or why weren't you)? Hopefully you lot've learned your lesson and information technology volition stick, especially if Bushnell doesn't void your warranty (which they have every right to since your unauthorized tinkering de-pressurized the scope). Don't "fix" it if information technology works.

I don't know which department you'd need to speak with at Bushnell, simply when you contact them I call back that you should be up front with them. Be candid and respectful. Letting them know what happened instead of trying to play them will allow them to become directly to resolution of the problem instead of wasting fourth dimension and try diagnosing what caused it. They might do a total diagnostic and cleaning, but that should exist at their option to be thorough instead of every bit a diagnostic arroyo.

I have an SWFA 16x on the way! This thread was a how do I do this myself, in house, at home without mfgr back up. Somewhere along the line the obvious advice of sending it back to mfgr came up which is great advice! Now the advice has go centered around integrity and honesty or lack thereof. This is all fine and well, but like I had originally asked before thread derailment ensues:

How do I personally get most purging my own telescopic? Thanks.

This inquiry of mine isn't meant to offend those who think attempting such a thing is immature or stupid in some mode. I see already that there are many useful well thought out replies that directly help respond the question.
Cheers

Really, if the scope was pressurized, and you let information technology out, especially without taking the screw all the way out, the telescopic is nevertheless filled with nitrogen. It is only no longer pressurized.

Actually, if the scope was pressurized, and you permit it out, particularly without taking the screw all the way out, the scope is still filled with nitrogen. It is only no longer pressurized.

This is correct. Just because nitrogen came out doesn't mean any wet got in- that's the reason we put inert gas into the telescopic to begin with, nosotros put the telescopic in a vacuum to remove whatsoever air and so refill with an inert gas to preclude the wet in the air causing the telescopic to fog up. If information technology was me and y'all demand the scope, just push button it dorsum up and you lot will exist fine until yous become your new i and so send it back to become refilled.
There is a way to refill at home just you must have access to medical grade nitrogen- usually tin can exist plant at well-nigh welding supply houses. Unscrew the ocular aligning all the way out, remove screw and fill with nitrogen at a VERY slow rate. To much force per unit area will blow grease and contagion on your lenses. Very low force per unit area for a few minutes (5-viii) and so put screw dorsum in and tighten downward ocular and you accept just pressurized your scope with nitrogen.
In lodge for this to piece of work well you lot need to be in a low humidity environment.
Exercise I recommend this? Not actually but y'all asked and so I answered- information technology is better than having regular air in the telescopic.
If y'all accept whatever more questions let me know.
Thanks,
Paul

You can fill information technology with nitrogen, but non sure about sealing it.

I remember seeing an commodity years ago about Leupold. The way they filled the scopes was to assemble them in a box filled with nitrogen. Nitrogen is a bit heavier than air, so if you fill an open topped box with nitrogen, then submerge the scope and parts, you stop up with nitrogen filled.

For the record, Demo-homo, I never got the idea that you were in any way considering anything dis-honest. I think I'd just tell Bushnell that I got tired of skinning myself and tried to remedy information technology, not realizing what that screw did-----I'll bet money that they fix information technology for gratis, and maybe they will round the screw in hereafter and so information technology won't cutting others......

Promise they care for information technology for free...

If you make full an open top container with nitrogen, it does not immediately leave the box.

Nitrogen is dry, air has water vapor, and water vapor is a LOT less dumbo that nitrogen.
