Butler Creek flip up scope caps.

[Pop Shot]

Just purchased a Bushnell Elite 6500 2.5-16x42.

Anyone know what size scope caps I will need...?

Cheers.

Don't do it! They break in a heartbeat these days!

Don't bother mate, they'll break within a week, just do a search on here!

If the scope comes with bikini covers, just cable tie them on to the scope, been doing this for a few years now and it works great, plus it doesn't make that daft sound the butler creeks do when they pop open which can spook the deer.

You beat me to it!

Use a vernier caliper to measure them mate.

I am not trying to be smart as it wouldn't suit me. How quick can these be opened say if a deer just appears of of now where as the sometimes do! This is one reason I have never used this method as in woodland stalking sometimes you only have a split second. I can see the benefits whilst being used in an open hill stalk.Thanks,Glendine.

You can get them off in a few of seconds with practice, obviously it will be a bit slower if the deer are very close and you want to be super quiet! I also loop mine round the scope tube and over onto my turret caps to stop them rattling around.

Your welcome mate,

This is how I attached mine, you can see how they are held in place under tension by the scope turrets without rattling around.
