Wanted: BUGGER snapped the front flip up cover on my scope

[hodge9113]

Out last night and managed to snap the front flip up cover on my optisan mamba lite 3-12 x44 .
Just been on to phone to MTC and they don't have them .
Do any of you nice peeps know where I can get 1

I have a pair, well worn.
Inside the cover is a number
Does yours match?

 

[hodge9113]

No numbers on mine but they look VERY SIMILAR my scope only has the front one on (objectives lens) .
The threaded ring that secures it comes out of the ring if that makes sense
How much you looking for

I’d imagine, that £3 including postage would be fine.
I have just looked again, the larger one has both pins missing, there screwed in and are on the smaller model.
PM me if you’re interested, I can drop them in the post tomorrow

Disaster! I broke my 2x7 Leupold completely in half one day when out hunting

How did that happen John? Jacking the ute up with it?

jacking her up lol.
I stood on a large stone high up on a gully edge which dislodged with me on it and down I went with an avalanche of stones for a fifty foot drop, it was a real shock and I got up shook myself and then saw one half of the scope on my rifle the other half was 3-4 yards away. Leupold came good and I got another after I sent the broken one back to the US.

U.K. based Creedmoor owners would do well to stay indoors this week, now that the long dry spell appears to be breaking over the weekend, lest they inadvertently get caught in a rain shower, and find that their rifle barrels corrode and/or drop off when passing any hazardous damp vegetation.

Surprised the HSE hasn’t put out a safety announcement tbh, there’s bound to be trouble…

No No No they can rub some Ivermectin on the corrosion....

My Creedmoor in 6.5 is my favourite rifle.

However, I do find this Man bun type stuff amusing, keep up the good work.

Anyone who takes offence should look at the obsolete Cold War era rifles shot by the good folks who try to wind us up. It’s fun stuff to read and brings a smile to my day.

Cold War? Cold War? New fangled modern rubbish like the 7.62x51?....I prefer something more established and proven in a couple of World Wars and perhaps Korea.....!

That’s great news.
