I have a 2.5 power Tasco shotgun scope that came mounted on a Winchester 1300. It rattled, so since it was an inexpensive scope, I disassembled it and found that it was evidently disassembled before and crossthreaded when reasssembled.

I put it back together correctly and it no longer rattles. As long as I don't expect it to be moisture/air tight anymore, do you think it will work OK? I plan to use it on the 1300 with a slug barrel, and carry a tool to remove it if it does fog up while hunting.

Thanks for the input.
