First time I've experienced this. Not fogging, but field of view altered from the waves from the heat coming up off the barrel.
And for a reason.........
Most my MSR rifles scopes are mounted higher off the bore, those see some volume and get quite warm, but no scope blurring.
Most my other bolt action rifles up to this point see five rounds every 10 or 15 minutes.
My new Ruger American Predator. 223 has a pretty low mounted scope. I fired about 50 rounds in about an hour testing some handloads, and after a few rounds toward the end of the session, it would get hot enough to blur my sight picture quite considerably at 100 and 200 yds. Enough to make me sit there and wait for about a minute or 2 at some points.
Anyone else experience this? I'm really not worried, I'm no prairie dog shooter, this is just a fun gun for now, but this is the first I've experienced this.
