Scope caps for my maven?

[coast range]

What should I order? Covers are “cool” but not my thing. All I have ever owned are butler creek. But not impressed

 

[ChrisAU]

What model Maven?

The ones that come in the bundle are pretty nice. Aadmount I believe, a little pricey though.

 

[Jfujan]

I'm also curious, what have others used besides the Aadmount for an Rs1.2?

It’s for the rs1.2

Tenebraex. Part numbers BT4449-FCR & UAC001-FCR

Tenebraex or Aadmount are about the best you can get.

That's great info right there, thanks

I have the Aadmount on my first RS1.2. Not a huge fan of how stiff they are.

Ordered the Tenebraex per @ChrisAU 's part numbers to try on my second RS1.2. Supposedly shipped on 9/6 but don't have a tracking number, trying to be patient but eager to see if I like them better.

@SteveAndTheCrigBoys did you ever get those Tenebraex covers in? What's your opinion vs the Aadmount?

They loosen up.

They are the only caps Iv ever used that have been truly water tight.

They are so water tight that you need to be careful when going from warm to cold and vice versa.

MKMachining - I am looking at them

The Tenebraex clip in and out easier/quieter and are smaller profile but flimsier plastic. I prefer the way the objective screws in with Tenebraex. Like the push latch on the Aadmount ocular. The Aadmount springs are stronger so you have to open them carefully to keep them from "clanging". With UM Tikka lows and the RS1.2 the Aadmount barely clear the barrel. A little more room there on the Tenebraex, but since they both clear it's a non-issue with my setups. If the scope was seated further back they might contact. The Aadmount objective has popped open on me from sling carrying with a pack.

I'm gonna keep both for now and see which I prefer over time. I'd give a slight edge to the Tenebraex right now.

Yeah personally I see the stiffness (which does loosen a bit but remains harder to open than other caps) as a good thing. I don't want them coming open for any reason other than me opening them. I use Aadland caps for all of my scopes.

Same. I have tenebrex that I got with all my nightforce scopes that go unused.

Biggest upside of the aadland is that they sit flat on the scope when open. I use my cap/turret to line up on target like an open site prior to getting in the scope. With the others I’m looking at a cap sticking up

Hi all, need scope caps for an RS1.2 and found this thread. Still content with the Aadland's here, or has Tenebrex jumped ahead over time?

Thanks for your help!

After spending more time with both I’m pretty 50/50 on them.

The Aadmount have “broken in” a bit and aren’t as stiff to open/close. Both objective and ocular have popped open inadvertently while either strapped to the pack (SG sling) or slung over the frame with a traditional rifle sling. Haven’t had that issue with the Tenebraex. I do like the Aadmount tendency to spring open more flat.

The Tenebraex objective keeps unscrewing on me. Not sure exactly how to remedy that. Not the end of the world.

Hard for me to definitively recommend one over the other. Maybe buy the bundle if you don’t have the scope already, but the Tenebraex if you already have the scope?

Would finger nail polish solve this?

I’m apprehensive about putting anything on fine threads that close to the objective.
