Scope covers?

[jager]

Was curious to what AND why you guys/gals use to keep your scopes lenses clean and dry during inclement weather.
I just cant see wiping moisture off the lenses of high dollar optics with my shirt!

These are pretty sweet but hard to see thru without taking the cover off 

Guess it would help if I posted the link! http://www.scopeshieldalaska.com/

I use a blizzard scope cap when hunting in poor weather conditions. It has a see threw lenses that I can use if the weather is not bad. If its wet I can just flip it up and use the dry lense.

I use the butlers sometimes but not too often. Having them cover the ends is nice.

Now i get ahold of the clear stretch on caps that come with a lot of high end german optics. They give a good cushion against shock along the edge of the tube and they are clear so when i'm pirsching in the rain they keep the water off the glass. Havent had a problem with them fogging which i think is because of the plastic they are made out of.

 The Butler Creek flip up covers work very well, I generally walk around with my sling on my shoulder so the front cap is closed while the rear is open, not likely to get wet facing the ground.

 Ideally you won't be looking through it unless you have already spotted an animal, at that point its only a second to pop open the front cap as you bring up the gun. Most hunters will find they have plenty of time to get a propper rest and open a cover. Seldom do you have to shoulder the weapon, target the game and fire without taking your time.

I know the Butler creek covers have been around "forever" I thought there may be something out there thats better

lupy makes the alumina ones. pretty pricey.

I use the Butler Creek covers and Leupolds Alumina flip back screw on covers on my Leupold scopes, which most of my scopes are Leupolds.  These are pricy but they work well.

for awhile i really liked having the neoprene cover on the scope because it kept it dry and i felt it protected it  while giving it cushion to protect it's zero. Once i realised how tough the level of scope i was using is, I stopped worrying about zero bump.

I used the Leupold Aluminas (screw in type) and love them.  They keep pretty much everything off the lens and just pop open with a flick of your finger.  They run $40.00 each.

I really like the leupolds...The claim to only work with their same brand, I have Zeiss...do you know if they will work?

maybe if you could find the thread measurments you could check.

I use the Butlers but have busted my rear one every year. Since I am looking at getting a new rifle AND scope (What, you can't expect me to put an OLD scope on a NEW rifle... it might mess up the mojo) I have decided to just wait and spend the $5 bucks a year. Looking at a Leupold scope and just using their covers. A friend of mine has them for his rifle and scope and swears by them.

I have bought two sets of butler creek covers and everyone of them has broke

Leupy's are far superior if you have the right scope.  I've lost and broke many of the Butler Creeks, but they've been worth every penny many times. Very universal also to meet nearly every scope.

I have the blizzard proof caps on all my scopes!
