Any advice on the best materials to clean your fire arm optics? Wanting to be very carefull with my Leupolds. Thanks in advance.

They usually come with a lens cloth which is what I use. I'd go to you local camera store like Wolfe and see what they have for camera lenses.

I use a lens pen brush to first wipe away the debris. Then use a Zeiss lens cloth to clean the glass. Then I use the other side of the lens pen with the felt to polish the edges.

I use Q-tips dipped in alcohol to gently clean the lenses, then dry q-tips to dry off the alcohol before it evaporates. haven't had any issues with abrasions, and I use it on several optics worth over $1000 each

I like the Eclipse optic cleaning liquid on the Pec Pads.

Most important thing is to blow any dust particles off the optic before you clean it. Dust is your enemy.
