Scope Bumper Scope caps

Ok, went out to zero the "RS 95" this morning. -5* out.

These caps are secure, and passed a "snow toss" test. They also were easy to pop off and secure back on while wearing my gloves. These caps are much less of an annoyance than the Butler Creek flip ups, especially when "open," and will likely last a LOT longer, as I've had poor luck with BC's lasting when actually used hunting.

I purchased two replacement sets of the bungies that secure the caps, as that looks like the likely failure point, and will keep a set in both of my bino harnesses. I found it interesting that the bungies are size specific, not one size fits all.

I need to get some of the bungees on hand. I forgot to order those
 
Got out again today. I won't buy these for every scoped rifle I own, but I can see having them on any serious hunting rifle. I'll probably get a set for my Athlon Helos gen2 2-12x on my competition AR as well.

IMO, all scope covers suck to some extent, these just suck a LOT less than Butler Creek covers. Going forward, I'd zip tie a bikini cover to my tube before using the Butler Creek caps hunting.
