I like the design, but have now broken 7 Butler Creek Scope covers - 4 eyepiece and 3 objective - all fractured at exactly the same point where the hinge joins the cover at the point where the material is thinnest! They seem particularly fragile in cold weather because the plastic is brittle I suppose. I know they are only circa £5-10 apiece, but it's costing me a fortune for something that should be able to withstand the rigours of sporting use.
I know there will be plenty of helpful advice about being less clumsy and that they are used by the military - but does anyone else think they are just too fragile for stalking/foxing use i.e. situations where your attention is focussed on the target and not on avoiding damage to a delicate scope cover?
Have ordered a new one from Deben in the hope it may be more robust....
