Is this where I get to joke, for a change, about how hard y'all seem to making something that is simple?
Butler Creeks aren't perfect, but they stay closed and generally don't break for me. I did break the red button on one. Once. I've had them leak in all-day rain exposure before (but mostly not leak).
Where I hunt deer the range is often very close. Even the little "fwoop" they make opening can be a problem. When I've messed with bikini covers (I own one) there's too much motion and noise to get them off.
Anyway I'm just surprised to see so many having trouble with the BC's.
I can recall several times over the last decade of guiding sitting in the lodge trying to get a client's push-button yuppie flippie uppie scope covers to come open when they're supposed to......recall one set that worked great next to the stove, but out in the cold........
If it don't have batteries, or buttons, or dials, the yuppies won't buy it these days.........
I'm actually liking the looks of the Scopeshield.

Butler Creeks are yuppie-duppie? I did not realize this.
I bought my first set because they were cheap, simple, and I didn't like the other stuff I'd tried.
Bought the subsequent 10-odd sets because the first set worked pretty well. Not to say they've been perfect.
The Leup Alumina's are nice, but the tabs are a little small. And then you're stuck with a Leupold scope.
