I like the Quake Bushwackers because the rubber sleeves expand to fit a wider range of sizes than the Butler Creeks.  I have them on my Leupold scopes and on my 10x40 Zeiss binocs.  Great products.  Last pair I got (for the Zeiss binocs) on that E-auction site for about 14 bucks shipped.

I only use butlers on the objective end during bad weather.
I do however like butlers on my bino's  with them flipping down so it is easier to aquire quickly.

I use Butler creeks. I consider them disposable, I break a couple of them a year.

The BC caps realy are cheep crap but I havent found anything in the same price range that is better.

yah i would agree....crappy, but priced well...and for what they do....there worth it..I like the BC that has the clear front that way when its rainging you atleast have half your scope covered from the elements...But agreed BC are good...

I have used Butler Creek covers on my rifles for 14 or 15 years now, and have never had one break.   :twocents:

Butler Creek came on the 30-06 I bought out here. Like'em but the front works it's way off in about 3 shots.  Haven't decided how I want to remedy that.
