What about scope caps?

[ChrisAU]

I find them essential, beating brush or hunting rifle with a cap-less rifle can be trouble. I prefer the Leupold/Swaro aluminum style, but I also like Tenabraex and will use Butler Creek.

Butler Creek is a great option for the price as are Tenebraex for a little more.

I had no problem with my butler creek set but one hit at just the right spot while scrambling through some deadfall busted the release. Maybe it was a freak thing, but mine couldn’t take much of a beating. Price is right though.

Are you guys using flip up scope caps for hunting? What do you like? Got a Razor LHT 3-15x42 coming if that matters.

Have had no problems with the vortex caps that usually come with the razors. If i need caps or replacements, Butler Creeks have served well.

I had BCs then switched to neoprene after they broke/ fell off.

Scopecoat XP-6

Also keeps turrets covered and helps with bumps in the safe.

I got fed up with scope caps popping open or the cheap plastic red flippy trigger thing breaking so I just now use the rubber scope bands that come with Swarovski scopes. Works just fine. Sometimes old school is the best option

Between butler creek, vortex and tenabreax the only ones I could stand were the tenabraex. Got a couple sets of aadland caps now and am a big fan. I like a push button eye piece and they sit nice and flat on the scope like the vortex, but don’t fall off all the time.

Say what you will about Leupold scopes, but their caps are great. I’ll use the cheap butler creek on range guns. Hunting rifles get something sturdier.

I think I have a 42mm tnebraex one laying around if somebody wants it I’ll let it go cheap.

 

[thinhorn_AK]

Go on.

Yeah a piece of inner tube stretched over the scope works well. I do that fairly often. When you lose them it’s not like you lost a 40 dollar neoprene cover.

That came of a nightforce 2.5-10x42, it’s been sitting in my shop for like a year now.

Scopecoat only for me. . . . deploys faster and quieter and is less likely to break under hard use.

Butler creeks have served well on every thing I own . Never a problem.

 

[ytlogger]

Go on.

Fatcamp, I just saw the notification bell. Sorry, I didn't come back to the thread. As said by Thinhorn, you just need to find an inner tube of suitable diameter and cut across section. Simple but effective.
