Scope Bumper Scope caps

[11boo]

I'm thoroughly amazed the Chinese have not copied these!

They should be a bit more informative on that website if they are US made. I don’t mind paying to support domestic, but a couple minutes of browsing that website gave no indication.
I like that design. Hunting in snow is a challenge keeping glass clear.

Copy that. Thanks!

Looks like they changed the recommendation on the chart from 44L to 43L since last I looked.

43L works, just got one in. It’s pretty damn tight getting it on. I think that sleeve material stretches a bit over time so probably best?

I actually ended up ordering a 43L and got them on today. Thanks for the update and agreed on the tightness

I could be wrong - but I’m fairly certain these are the scope caps @Formidilosus has on a few rifles

THE Scope Bumper™

The Original Scope Bumper

In a pre-order status currently.

I have no affiliation I’m just a guy who has not found the “Goldilocks” scope caps yet.

Is that price for one or a pair?

How do you like them?

Thinking about trying a set of these. Curious if the sleeve that slips over the scope is more rubberized or a harder plastic material?

Anyone got a pic of these on the Maven RS1.2

The sleeve is a more pliable material. The cap itself is hard plastic.

Currently the best scope caps I’ve used. Whether or not the price is worth it over butler creeks which you could replace several times over, TBD.

That's where I'm at.

If they price durable, I'll be ok with the price.
I've been impressed so far

Yes, I figure I could use a durable pair of scope covers that keep my scope clear and don’t slow me down too much when going for a shot. Unless there is a significant sale, however, I plan to watch this thread and see how well they hold up before I buy them.

The Butler Creek bikini scope covers my puppy ate set me back $10. They kept the snow and rain out of my scope. I could get fifteen sets of those for the price of one set of scope bumpers. The only issue is that when I left them in the pocket of my hunting jacket while the jacket was hanging up to dry, the puppy took them out and ate them.

I’m willing to believe that the scope bumper cap is a better long term solution to the problem, but fifteen times the price of a working option is a bit much.

I have them on both of mine. Will grab a pic for you later this morning.

I wish they'd offer these for the objectives on spotting scopes. The front lens cap on all my Kowa scopes pop off super easy. One for the 55 series would be awesome and I'd gladly pay for it.

Thanks for that, I missed your pics in amongst all the pics of SWFAs
Definitely liking the look of these

Totally, that’s a great idea. I had the same issue with the lens cap provided with the scope, I ended up getting one these for my 77 and it’s been much better though not perfect.

They don't click closed but they're like $45 for a set and should do well against snow/dirt/vegetation. Not sure how they'd handle rain?

They have covers for SWFA so I'm going to try one out.

Yes. They suck on bolt guns. The rear cover will rip your hand wide open if you rack the bolt quickly.

I have these, took them to Alaska on a bou hunt this past August. Before I left I ordered a thin rubber sheet off Amazon, cut it to the inside of the scope caps and applied them on the inside to create a seal from water.

We got dumped on (as you normally do in AK), and they worked flawlessly. Harvest was successful as well.

In Nov I went to East TN for rifle opener. Got dumped on again all morning leaning up against a tree with no cover from the rain on the rifle. Again no issues with water leakage.

Maven RS1.2 on a Tikka 65prc.

Long term I don't like them though. They flip up, and just stick out on top of the scope awkwardly.

I ordered these before learning about the scope bumpers, but not ready to fork out that kind of money for scope caps.

The guy who makes was them was absolutely awesome to work with and I have nothing but good things to say about him.

For tree stand hunting long term, probably fine. Out West moving around in the mountains, etc, I will swap them out for something else before this fall.

Hope that helps you.

Yes. I still have them in a box somewhere but they weren’t my favorite solution. I also had to invert them from the picture above to keep it from hitting my barrel.

@Brap01 - Here's a pic from the AK trip zoomed in on the rifle. They just really stick out, and sometimes they'll creep back down on the front lens if you're not paying attention.
