Atomicjoe -  Yeah they are a lot of fun. They are for sure my favorite dog breed and I think I will always have one on my side..

i have had the butler creek flip ups for along time.i have had 2 come apart at the spring. now i have owned several and spend alot of time in  the woods,  so really thats not a  bad average.  i now get the see through/ flip up kind of scope caps and secure the base to my scope with shoe goo.

I think that they are pretty worthless in the field.  I have them but I use them to keep the dust off in storage.  They are too noisy, they catch on brush, they break and if it is raining and you put them down they will fog.  I think that while hunting you are better off without them.  If you are worried about rain just wipe the rain off every once in awhile, you can still use the scope with rain on the lens but you can't when they are fogged.

i like them just strickly for dust, thats my main concern in ruining the lense... dust...

If you have a Leupold scope that accepts their screw in flip up covers they are great. I have them on 3 scopes and have never had a problem. They are quick and fold back flush w/ the scope so they don't hang up on anything...would recommend them to anyone. They are a little pricey though.

I leave mine closed until I see something I am going to shoot. I have only had them flip open once from getting caught on brush, and it was a hole that I never should have walked through...

I use Butler creek as well. Some of them have a clear or yellow lense that you can see through if you have a quike shot opportunity that doesn't allow time for you to open them.


Love them
