Butler Creek ‘Flip-Open’ Scope Covers

Protecting your scope against the elements and damage is essential, no matter if you are a target shooter or hunter. Most optics come with basic lens covers but these are invariably screw on types or the push-on type where the two lens caps are joined together with an elasticated strap. Both types are removed at the point of shooting, where they can be easily lost.

Butler Creek’s individual front and rear flip-up types are definitely a better way to go, offering a neat friction-fit sleeve made specifically for each O/D lens sizes. These flip up units come in two types that are opened with either a red press button or alternatively one of two lugs on the edge of the cover which you simply push up almost too dark and I couldn’t use the scope but could still see through the monocular.

Conclusions

Basically the Compact binoculars
are ideal for our sport, while the Monocular proves the quality of the lenses as an observation aid and I’d reckon if it’d been a higher mag it would have been ideal for checking longer range practice grouping. The Visionary range and other optical kit from Optical Hardware, is well worth taking a good look into.
