Scope Bumper Scope caps

[TheM1DoesMyTalking]

Scope Bumper has a search tool for looking up sizing. They have a Zero Tech Trace 3-18x44 Advanced in the list as Objective 52mm and Occular 47mm - Long. Can anyone confirm if that's the correct sizing for the Shoot2Hunt scope?

@Formidilosus might already have a set

Im waiting until black friday to order mine. Hoping to snag some on a sale considering scopes wont be in folks hands until then anyways.

 

[nm.otter]

...even better if S2H negotiates special pricing for caps purchased with scopes.

 

[Ajsomp]

@Ryan Avery @Unknown Munitions great idea here. Best scope covers as a package with the scopes

 

[Mikido]

I have 4 swfa scoped rifles, all with butler creek caps. They barely make it through a range session let alone a hunt.

Received my first pair of scope bumpers. I’m a believer….my hunting rifle for the season carries it. Unless Black Friday is 75% off, doubt I’ll get more…..but loving this one

Yea price tag on scope bumpers stings, but I get over it shortly after using them. Il miss the money for a day but hate other caps for years. I have them on everything now.

Yeah, I'm sizing up a few more scopes that are on rifles I shoot a bunch.

Having Butler Creek caps on them and Scope Bumper caps on my RS95 side by side is compelling.

Any of you guys with a Schmidt & Bender 3-12x50 Klassik, I just posted up a set of Scope Bumpers for it, new and unused:

Scope Bumper caps for Schmidt & Bender 3-12x50. Got these right as I sold the scope, and kept them hoping they'd fit another scope but no luck. These were $155 new, priced to move at $100 shipped TYD.

Does anyone mind posting a video opening and closing them? Haven't been able to find anything like that showing them in use. Sometimes seconds matter. Clumsy scope caps are annoying but so is not being able to see through your scope.

No video, but here's a picture of how to set them up (first pic). Clock them to allow for a swipe of your thumb to pop them off and out of the way. Index the ocular cap so that it clears your bolt knob during aggressive cycling, or you will end up looking like the second picture. It's worth snapping them on & off a bit to wear down the engagement a little between cap and body, as they will start out very tight (not a bad thing). You could also take some very fine grit sandpaper or a scotchbrite pad and artificially break in the interface too. With practice you can open them very quickly, it's not as fast as some other caps but these are way more durable in day to day use.

The front cap pops off easily, like a traditional
Front cap.

The rear cap is a bit harder than a traditional push button cap (butler creek), using your thumb. It is getting easier with time as it wears. Worse case, take a nano second longer and use your index finger to pull it back.

This is with the caps “snapped” in. They can also be unsnapped, still covering the lens, but not fully seated/sealed. They move súper easy like this.

Sweet thanks more of a slide than a pop it kinda looks like

Yeah, you have to index them like RancherJohn said and then practice to get fast.

I saw in hindsight you asked about putting them back on. It's straightforward. I roll them back over the glass until they are flat and then bop them with the base of my palms.

good insight do you know what your bolt throw angle is on that?

 

[BAKPAKR]

You get a season out of Butler Creeks caps? I don’t think any ones from the last 10-15 years have lasted longer than 3-4 days of real use.

Interesting. I have Butler Creek scope covers on a few guns and they have worked fine for several seasons. A lot of that use was in some pretty rugged country.

Does anyone know what size Butler Creek covers will fit the S2H scope?

 

[Q_Sertorius]

I caved and ordered a set of these to go with my S2H scope. Having broken the seal, so to speak, I went ahead and got a set for my SWFA 3-9x and 6x.

I am curious to see what makes a set of these better than fifteen sets of the Butler Creek bikini types.

Ive got all mine on straight up and down, might have to clock one set and see if I like it better, not sure I see the advantage offhand though.

You have to clock them to open them quickly with your thumbs under time and stress.
