One of the reasons I like my Leupold VX-R so well is that I use the Alumina covers with it.
![]() I never really thought about that before.....

This is all I really want:
![]() Simple, inexpensive, long-lasting, stays in place, stays closed when I want it to, protects lenses well, and inexpensive. I have caps like this on binos that have lasted for several years, and if the tethers tear, they're inexpensive to replace. I don't need/want to spend $100 when the same function can easily be accomplished just as well by a $15 item. I can get these for specific models of binoculars, and I'm sure I could find some that would also fit my scopes, but why doesn't anyone make the same basic design in all common rifle scope objective and ocular bell diameters? Or, does some exist I'm not aware of? |

Ted, I have (had???) a decent pair on one of my Swaro scopes... 3-9 x 36 I think. Not sure who made them and if (or not) they are available for other scopes.

If they're like the ones that came on my 3-9X36 and 3-10X42 Swaros, they are the aforementioned Quake Bushwacker covers. They also came as a supplied accessory with Kahles scopes in the past. I like them o.k., though they're a bit flimsy in the hinge area. They do use an ideal grade of rubber for the sleeve that clings to the scope well, though. Anytime you have thin hard plastic parts on the hinge, it's subject to cracking and breaking in varying temperature. All-rubber construction provides "stretch but not break" durability that will last for many years before the rubber loses its elasticity and cracks. But, by then, you should be able to get several years of use and replacement cost is minimal. |

BIG Smile I sit here thinking of Ted, Sitting it the recliner up in the country club penthouse deer stand. With a cooler full of snacks, both liquid and solid. The propane heater keeping his middle aged bones from hurting. Watching the game on the battery operated TV. Or listening to tunes on the Ipod. This just goes to show it is always the little things that bug you the most.

Meopta makes those exact covers for their scopes Rifle (the ones that look like binoc lens covers). They may fit some of yours as well.

Yep, those are exactly what I want, and the same covers came with my Meopta Meopro 6X42. Do they sell them separately? If not, who is the supplier?

Yep, I have a couple Scopecoats. They're fine for some guns, but I don't care for them on a hunting rifle. They protect the scope well but I prefer scope caps that remain attached to the scope when the caps are open. There's a high likelihood I will lose anything you have to completely remove from the scope prior to using said scope, as I already have a bad habit of losing bikini covers. I typically remove them from the scope and put in my pocket once I start hunting, and invariably, they manage to fall out of my pocket somewhere in the woods. I carry around enough items as-is; I don't want anything else I've gotta keep up with. It's much slower to clear the scope for use if I have to take advantage of a momentary shot opportunity.

Those are Meopta's standard issue on their riflescopes.
