Anyone remember the old Butler creek covers with the rubber band between the covers? Those worked very good. Why did they stop making these? The story I was told that someone has an eye injury and it was lawsuit time.

I have a set of those on my back-up gun I take with.  Wished they still made them.

A little different than they used to be.  Looks like "cups" instead of caps.

I break the butler creek flip ups all the time.  Right now I just have the broken remains of the ones I bought last year.  The alumina looks interesting.

 I have never broken a Butler Creek cover and have had them on several of my rifles for years, what are you guys doing that gets them broken? I would think you would be having scope issues as well, I find it hard to believe they are breaking just by flipping them open or closed.

Mine have been on my rifle for about twenty years.

They also make a clear flip up front sight so that if you don't have time to flip it up you still can see through it.  They used to anyways....

When you put hundreds of foot miles on every year, 12 months a year, they break quite regularly.  Hanging up on brush, constantly being opened closed, rubbing on or in your pack.

 Thanks for clearing that up, i'm not likely to have that problem since all I do is road hunt from my vehicle then.
