What scope covers to get for nightforce shv

[Sako79]

I bought a nightforce shv 3-10x42. Im wondering what scope covers are everyone using for the eye piece and the objective. Is it worth it to go night force or just the butler creek

I’m using the Butler Creek scope bras, but a lot of folks around here like the Scope Bumper caps. There’s a thread about them if you search for it.

I went Butler Creek on mine.

I recently bought a set of scope bumpers for my ATACR and like the low profile of the a lot.

I'll just say that the NF/Tenebrax cover will barely fit, where the Butler Creek will not, on a 50mm shv mounted in Sportsmatch To84 rings on a t3x lite. On that specific combo, I'd say that after using them a few months I like the NF/tenebrax cover well enough to not mind what it costs. But if the BC would have fit, yeah, I would have used that.

Yep, same scope. I can't remember what numbers they were and I even pulled it out of the safe but don't see size numbers on them either.

The covers didn't fit with T084 on mine either, had to go up to the HT073 and that's with a 42mm. It does have a custom barrel that has a slightly different profile too so that didn't help.

When you measured yours, did you measure where it shows the + 0 - or did you measure it on the adjustment part.

Here are my measurements from front to rear of scope

Objective 50.25mm

+ 0 - 43.83mm

Adjustment ring 42.77mm

Just found my post from a previous thread on SHV scope covers.

"Received my illuminated SHV yesterday. Mounted it today on my .35 Whelen Ruger. The Butler Creek size #18 for the eye piece and #30 for the objective works perfectly. The #18 eye piece is pretty tight so I see how a #19 would also fit."

I looked at them.They're quite pricey, by the time they get to me in canada. The videos I watched are they are ridiculously loud when you open them and close them, which I do not want. The noise is so loud that every elk deer and moose in the whole valley will be gone when you're open it

I bought 2 sets of Aadland in November. I have not experienced what you're describing.

I thought they were on the loud side. I put a little adhesive rubber bumper on the contact points. Probably still too noisy for whitetails in bow range when there isnt any wind. Not hard to control the opening so its quieter in those conditions though. To me its better than one that opens all the time when I dont want it to.
