It is used to protect the spotting scope as it can get banged around a lot in a range bag or back pack while being transported and at the range while being used.Sup,
I usually just use my rifle scope for lookin at bullet holes or a buddies spotting scope but I finally broke down and got a nice spotting scope. It came with a neoprene scope coat. I'm not sure I understand the reason for using it. Thoughts?
