AZ_SAWBUCK Report post Posted April 15, 2014 What do you use to protect your scope? I recently bought a Vortex viper 4-16x50 HS scope (13.7" long). The review on the vortex scope cover says it doesn't fit these scopes right. Any good recommendations out there? Post pics if you can. Thanks JS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rclouse79 Report post Posted April 15, 2014 I love the idea of the butler creek flip up scope covers, but they could not make a lower quality piece of garbage if they tried. I would expect to find a better made product at the bottom of a cracker jack box. At some point they changed their product to save costs in production. The original butler creek scope covers I bought held up for years until I sold the scope. I have tried three different times to outfit my new scope with butler creek caps and they have never lasted even one hunt without breaking. I know Leupold makes one that fits their scopes, but I wish another company offered a universal flip up cap made of aluminum or a higher grade plastic. Seems like they would make some money. I feel better after that random vent. That being said I have used the generic version of the scope coat after giving up on Butler Creek. It has holes wearing through it where the caps are, so I will probably buy a real one this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZ8 Report post Posted April 15, 2014 I know you've already ordered, but in case others are looking, Sportsmans Warehouse has a neoprene cover made by Allen. I picked it up locally for $9. It's the same concept as the scopecoat and works great. http://www.sportsmanswarehouse.com/sportsmans/Allen-Neoprene-Scope-Cover/productDetail/Scope-Covers/prod70704/cat100749 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
