Nitrogen is used in Rifle Scopes along with many other Optics; Binoculars, Spotting Scopes etc.
Quite simply, this is done to create a positive pressure to remove any ambient air laden moisture/oxygen that is evident in the manufacturing process, which would then become trapped, and be far more susceptible to cause issues such as internal fogging.

Ade from Optics Warehouse has seen Thermal technology become more advanced and affordable over time. Below, Ade briefly explains why Thermal technology is a must-have for any Shooter.
...
Over the last few years, we have seen Thermal technology vastly improve and dramatically drop in price.
With units now starting at under £500, like the HIK Micro 6mm Smart Thermal Monocular, Thermal technology is now available and affordable for all Shooters.
There really has not been a better time to buy from brands such as HIK Micro, Pulsar, ATN, and so on.

John Farbrother - 2018 BFTA & WFTC Springer champion - explains the importance of Rifle Fitment and Adjustable Rifle Stocks.
...
Rifle fitment can come in the form of many ways and getting the perfect setup can take years to achieve especially if you are working alone on this.
When you adjust the stock and balance of the rifle with sliding weights this may give you a placebo effect of improvement, however, in reality until you run some tests at the range it may become apparent that the adjustments made have actually had a negative effect on the accuracy.
One way of solving this is to get an experienced Shooter to look at the fit of the Rifle when shouldered. This will enable them to see if there are adjustments that can be made to gain maximum effective contact from the Butt, Cheek, Grip and Forend of the Rifle Stock, as what you feel is right may not necessarily be the case if you are new to this.

Long gone are the days of shops having to keep hundreds of different Mounts; Tikka, Sako, Ruger etc. Many of these are indeed still available but much simpler now is the option to convert these dedicated mounting systems with a standard Picatinny Rail for which conversions are available for most nowadays, especially on Dovetail receivers where the Picatinny Rail greatly enhances stability and security.

Since Thermal imaging has become more and more popular over the past decade, so has the requirement for it for the modern Deer Stalker.
When I first began Deer Stalking 7 years ago, the idea of taking a Thermal Imaging Monocular would not even have crossed my mind as I saw it purely for a tool to be used for night time vermin control. Nowadays I won't leave the house for a Stalk without one. I consider it to be as useful as my Binoculars.
