Took my MK2 out from my cold basement and into the 100% humid air and caught some pretty cool video, reminds me of my powder-burning firearms.

Humidity is high here in NH

It was interesting to see the entire rifle sweat, wasn't even able to see through the scope as it was all fogged up from the temperature change and humidity, like a cold beer on a hot day.

Should straighten out once your gun matches the outside temperature, however...,dont be surprised if you see an impact point change...the air used to propel the pellet has now changed and will compress differently. Just like a change in powder cartridges, when the propellent changes so does the impact point. Our powder is the air, so when extreme heat, cold or humidity comes into play so will the impact point of your shot.

I think your gun was vaping. Doesn't your gun know vaping is bad for it? What part of NH are you from? I live in Hooksett!

I’ve only found one shop that is down in MA for airguns. Do you know of any decent ones in NH? I’m in Merrimack Valley area but travel around for fun anyway.

Not that I know of. There is New England Airgun in Hudson, MA, which is the one I believe you're referring to, but I've also never been.

I deal with a lot of humidity here in central Texas too.
I do most of my shooting in the morning. I will fill the rifle with air the night before and when I get up in the morning I set it on the back porch and go about my morning routine of feeding dogs, horses, donkeys, etc. By the time I am finished with my morning coffee my guns and optics temperatures have normalized and no sweating or fogging of glass.
I still get an occasional puff of vapor though.

Come down here to New Orleans. I was lucky and got my electricity back today. Six days without power. Only lost water for an hour a couple of times.

Not trying to flex at all guys, I understand it's certainly more humid in other parts of the country during the summer months. I thought it was interesting to see the vapor after each shot which didn't happen today with my humidity around 55%. Take care
