How many use lens caps, and if so what kind? What are the pros and cons?

hey there JackG, My personal preference is the rubber "bikini style" lens covers. I find that the plastic caps and even the plastic "flip open" caps cheapen the looks of a quality scope. Also, the rubber bikini cover can be easily removed and stored in your pocket once on stand or in your blind. God Bless, RUGERBOY 77

I like the scopecoat as itäs protecting more than the lens. It's also great when having one scope in the rucksack and one on the gun to protect the unused one for the rest of the stuff in the rucksack.

Really?!?!? The ONLY "bikini cover" that looks better than Butler Creek Flip Ups is something like this........

I have Butler Creeks on all of my scopes and I think they look great. They keep the glass dry and clean which is nice while hunting, and also while cleaning my rifle. The few problems I do have with them is:
If you keep your rifles in a cabinet the scopecoats are nice since they keep the scopes from banging around on the other rifles which can cause some minor dings and scratches on the wood, other scopes, or both.
As long as you know the pros and cons of each system you will not be dissapointed with either one. |
