I have Butler Creek covers on my scope, but mine are about 23 years old. I hear the newer Butler Creek covers aren't as good as the old ones.

What is your primary objective? Are you trying to protect the lenses from rain, sun, or damage?

[splitshot]

rain and fog.  mike w

For rain, I haven't found anything better than something like this:

The cheap rubber bikini covers are what I am using these days... Haven't had good luck with the butler creek flip ups. I haven't tried the neoprene covers though

If you have a leupold scope then invest in there high end scope covers, if not then buy a leupold scope

[splitshot]

actually I do have a leupold now all I need to do is get a leupold cover.  I did not know they made covers.  thank you,  mike w

I have a nice aluminum for the front of mine, and really like it, but the front isn't threaded so I cant put one of the nice ones on it. Im also up for suggestions. I also have a Leopold.

I looked into this a lot last year before my Alaskan float hunt. A lot of the guys up in AK (on the hunting forums anyway), recommend these scope covers. I bought one and it worked great for my float hunt. On a float hunt everything gets wet from the water splashing on the raft, way more than just a rain storm. Kept my scope dry and free from fog. My hunting partner used Butler Creek flip up covers and had fogging issues.

Those may be the answer... Look serviceable

[bobcat]

Wow, those are expensive. I think I'll stick with the Butler Creek caps.

[High Climber]

Didn't see the price... How much?

[bobcat]

Looks like $100 for the set.
