Excellent cover for my scope.

Excellent cover for my scope. I like that it is treaded so there is no chance of it slipping off and getting lost. It's a little expensive but the quality of design and materials make it a good buy.

Some of the most thought out lens caps. Silent open, nice rubber pressure seal but still easy to open. Won't rattle loose.

These are not as nice as they used to be. Still far superior to the all plastic ones, but not as well made as my older Alumina caps. Much harder to actuate and just feel 'cheaper'.

When snug on the scope

When snug on the scope the hinge dirts up against the the barrel. So I had to back it up and it sits loose on the scope. Not sure if there is a way to correct this?

Absolutely love it! It's a little pricey but probably well worth it. I just wish I would've put it on after I 1st bought my gun because I had to remove my scope to install the front eyepiece because it wouldn't turn on the threads without removing the scope and it was already sighted in to perfection. But I marked every position and believe it's still on zero but I still need to go to the range and double check before our opener. But I do love the product. My old slide ons kept falling off. These are awesome.

Great lens covers

By Rocky

These work as they should, a lot better than the rubber or plastic ones.

Smooth & Durable

By Buck B.

I was wondering how a single lens cover could be so expensive until I decided to see. Although very expensive, this is the smoothest lens cap on the market. It threads in so nice and with a flick the cap glides open.
