Scope covers

Me too. They do have charts you can check your measurements with though.

And of course most retailers will only carry the most popular sizes.

Yes they do, but I don't understand why. It seems like a ridiculous extra step for both them and customers.

I agree.

Whats the point of scope covers? My hunting rifle doesn't have covers, its either in the safe, a bag, or my lap ready to go. Now I do have covers on my AR scope because they came with it.

I like neoprene for my Precision rigs. It’s just as easy as flip covers and offers full protection to the body and lens.

To keep the dirt, dust, rain, fingerprints, bugs, ect... off of your lenses of your $800 scope while dragging it through the woods. Or coffee if you happen to drop your coffee cup.

I wish Butler Creek just sold them by size instead of by some random ID number. Then you could just measure, order, and be done.

If mine gets dirty, I just wipe it off with my snot rag. I only need to see out the middle of it.

Don't like the butler creek covers. I've lost about every one of them over the years on the objective while walking through the woods. The cheap factory covers with the elastic to hold them in place works better for me.
