---I have the Butler Creek scope covers that you can see through, I believe there the Blizzard proof model, I have them on both my Leupold's and they are the only way to go! If you see a buck just pull up and shoot.

I use the butler creek flip ups. I can reach the rear one with my thumb while in my normal shooting position, and while I am sliding my hand up the stock to get into shooting position I hit the front one and release it. Never missed a shot because of them. They may not keep all the water out, but they keep pine needles out if you ever walk through thicker cover. Would hate to pull up to shoot and have to take the time to unload the pine needles from your scope.

Used BC for years. Liked them a lot. I have gone to Alumina Raincotes now. They are sacrificial if I scratch them and it keeps everything away from the $$$ lens. They also solve the long term problem with a screw cap. Highly recommend them.

What the? Hey DJR, educate me here a bit if you don't mind... These screw in front of your lense to help shed rain and keep the rag off the lense...?

Yes. They thread in and have an o-ring seal. Nothing gets to the primary lens. No moisture, dust, or cleaning solvents. There is a designer cap that threads over that for transport, storage, or when you are cleaning the rifle. I like them a lot.

Hmmmm, may have to look into those.... I generally don't like caps, and worry about over wiping the lense with my chamois... sounds like a plan...thanks for the info!
