I've obtained a couple rifles that have been in someones closet for, well, obviously a long time. They were sitting on the butt so the objective lenses of the scopes are...and I can't stress this enough...CAKED with closet crud. The scopes themselves seem decent enough but I'm afraid that trying to clean those lenses will scratch them or mess up the coatings from the sheer amount of gunk. Any suggestions?
