Which flip up scope covers?

[25 Sharps]

I flip my cover up once I start the stalk, I would only keep it closed if it was raining

I think that’s what most sensible people do

My Hawke Endurance has screw-in metal covers on both lenses. I usually flip them both out of the way immediately. Very well-made indeed. But of course they're specific to Hawke

The hawke covers are really good

If they’re stalking with the scope covers closed, they deserve to not get a deer

I got fed up with butter creek caps breaking so I tried the vortex defender caps. They were better but as others have said I found them too bulky and ugly. And they do open too easily.
I ended up buying Aadmount caps from the USA . They are expensive but the quality is excellent and they look good too.

I just use a neoprene cover on my rifles when its raining. Much prefer dayglo orange colour - my black / camouflaged ones are somewhere safe on a hillside. Butler creek style flip just another thing to get caught, break and cost money.

Found the Vortex to be great. I use black pvc elec tape around cap and scope to stop movement and no issues opening them.

SImilar, had some BC ones but they broke so got some vortex ones, good but bulky as othershave said,

Nah, I stalk deer I don't flush them.
If I have time for the cameras I also have time for a lenscover. Considering what a lens does and how expensive it is, I find it worth protecting.

It's no problem to open a cover if you expect a quick shot. If you don't expect a snap shot, how will you succeed (regardless of lens cover)

Vortex defender
Drop us a line we have stock of pretty much everything and a V4 to test them on for size

Vortex defenders & Tenebraex are the two covers that I've had most success with. Add lenscloths in ziplocks, in all your jackets if you are forgetful...

I put Tenebraex on my Victory V8’s and Vortex flip covers on my older Kahles.

Did you get taxed?

I use clear BC provided they are kept clean they have no detriment to taking a shot in bad weather, once remember wiping the snow off the objective 🌨 in dire circs cling film can be used, removed in a second and shot taken.
