I hate those foam baffles.

it makes the scope looks cheap. why don't they use aluminum baffles like other scopes?

Want to reduce the weight? But Arief is right, makes the whole thing looks cheap. I wonder the cost differences between using metal baffles and sponge ones..

But, I think WO is kinda innovative in this!! hahah!

The foam baffles may degrade with time and worse, break into small black sticky pieces. I was that happening to my kid's old child seat before I decommissioned it.

Dun think WO will risk their reputation by using foam that will degrade with time. They seem to have switched to using knife-edge metallic baffles for their latest scopes. The Megrez 90 looks enticing..

just curiuos, is the foam "knife-edge" enough ?
