So I have a Bushnell Elite Tac 3-12x44 (ET3124FJ).  What size Butler Creek flip up caps do I need?

I would not touch Butler Creek covers with a ten foot pole, personally.  THeir quality has really plummeted in the last few years.

The best cover on the market is probably from Aadland Engineering.  It is not cheap, but damn near indestructible.

Of the inexpensive ones, I'd look at Vortex covers.

Thanks!  I did notice that the ones I got last year are nowhere nearly as nice as the ones I got like 10 years ago.

Sad to say, but The Dark Lord is spot on. BC caps quality is non existent.  

Although, I do have a set of older BC caps and they are still going strong.  
If at first you don't secede...try..try again.
