I am probably blind but I don’t see these on their site. Do you have a link?

 

[huntsman22]

You gotta call and order. If they try telling you that you have to pay a 'custon' fee, tell them I already paid it and they should have the file for both the 65 and 80....

Thanks. Do you recall how much they are? I have been looking for something like this for years.

I use these. Spendy but fast in use, won’t come off or open in your pack and you can’t lose them. Call camaralandny and they can discount them a little. At least they did for me.

Can you still use the sunshade with it? Dont ask me how I missed that Swaro made something like I am looking for.

Yes, for sure. Not compatible with the SOC though.

Awesome. I will look into it. I am trying to get rid of my SOC. I don’t like it.

I have a SOC on a single scope and yeah it works but it’s not ideal. I bought it when the S series were first released so there wasn’t any alternative at the time. I also want/need to come up with ocular covers that won’t fall off like the factory rubber. I’ll have to check McMaster for some plastic or rubber caps.

The snap on my SOC is really stiff and hard to get on and off. It would be nice to have something that can be done with the flip of a finger. I also dont like how the SOC covers a large amount of the focus wheel.

I bought the magview digiscope adapter, so I have a cover for the ocular.

I would like to find some flip up caps for my 15s as well. I pack those on a tripod a lot but it sucks when its windy/raining and they get dirty. I have been using a shower cap to cover them and that works but its loud when your taking it off.

Rick Young Outdoors/RYO makes shower cap style covers that aren’t loud.

Gray Wolf Woolens makes a wool one that has an elastic chest strap so it can stay on your chest and hold binoculars to your chest when it’s over them.

How the hell have I missed all of this stuff? I have also been looking for something like that for years too.

All great ideas, thanks for all the info!!

Just so people have it. I ordered a flip cap from MKM. The 65MM ATS is 3.170 in size.
