I have also noticed Butler Creeks seem to have gotten a lot easier to break the last few years. Maybe I'm just getting more clumsy!
Also, quick focus and flip ups aren't a great combo, for lots of reasons.
I'm curious about the Scopeshields.
How thick are they?
Are they a snug fit that doesn't slip or hang going in and out of a scabbard or guncase? I've got an overhead gun rack in my pickup that is a tight fit for a scoped rifle, but begs for a scope cover that I can get off quick and not lose in the process.
Are they completely waterproof?
How about durability - are they pretty tough?
I've got some Kahles 3-9x40's and a stable of Leupold 3.5-10x40's and 3-9x40's. Would the same cover fit both scopes?
Will the retention band rub off paint/scuff wood?
Have to admit, it looks handy and simple - and I'm thinking the digital gray would look OK on a stainless/synthetic rifle - especially a Montana or two.
Thanks for taking time to answer some questions, if you are able!
