Sure is. Hopefully my legacy will be much more than something so irrelevant as being a shooting and gun afficianado.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

This one has been hanging on to dear life for over a year. Can't remember how it broke but it still works good enough.

Actually the scuffage occured during the barrel break-in.
You know, the part where you toss your rifle on the ground.....grin

That rifle looks cool with the blood smeared on the side of it. Looks like it's been out working hard.

Let me guess, you work for Bushnell?
Larry doesn't work for Bushnell, and his reaction has little to do with BC's at all. I think this will explain it though. NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDERSymptoms of this disorder include, but are not limited to: Reacts to criticism with anger, shame, or humiliation May take advantage of others to reach his or her own goal Tends to exaggerate their own importance, achievements, and talents Imagines unrealistic fantasies of success, beauty, power, intelligence, or romance Requires constant attention and positive reinforcement from others Easily becomes jealous Lacks empathy and disregards the feelings of others Obsessed with oneself Mainly pursues selfish goals Trouble keeping healthy relationships Is easily hurt and rejected Sets unreal goals Wants "the best" of everything Appears as tough-minded or unemotional [3] The symptoms of Narcissistic personality disorder can be similar to the traits of individuals with strong self-esteem and confidence, differentiation occurs when the underlying psychological structures of these traits are considered pathological. Narcissists have such an elevated sense of self-worth that they value themselves as inherently better than others. Yet, they have a fragile self-esteem and cannot handle criticism, and will often try to compensate for this inner fragility by belittling or disparaging others in an attempt to validate their own self-worth. It is this sadistic tendency that is characteristic of narcissism as opposed to other psychological conditions affecting level of self-worth The only thing that was missing from this definition was Larry's picture...

My advice is, if the Butler Creeks work for you, keep on using them.
For me, the new production ones don't work. I've not had a problem with my older set, but the newer ones I've had don't hold up for me. This is a very common issue that's been discussed on many sites, including Opticstalk.com, Snipershide.com, etc. So for the ones of us who keep breaking them, we obviously need to find an alternative. Just because you haven't broken yours doesn't mean that we are having the same luck. No need to come in here, post after post, bashing people who would like an alternative.
If the Butler Creeks work for you, that's great. Much enjoying that you think an elastic powered open ended sack atop your scope,is going to do anything but hang up on schit and concentrate moisture where you least want it?!!? Schit don't get much funnier than that! It was a very nice touch that you prefaced that brainfart with the muse that you were going to "Field Test" the ruse by a "hard" Hunt and then came full circle to reiterate that the piece of [bleep] schit filled up with water,as your "revelation". The only way to top them "findings",would be to hang a pic of what that "Hard Hunt" garnered in regards to punched tags and touch a wee bit on the AO and it's particulars. Laffin' in advance! Let me guess, you work for Bushnell? That's the only explanation I can think of as to why you'd be so closed minded on any other choices, and think that everyone has to be using the BC caps. As for the Scope Shield, it's a whole lot better than the Butler Creeks, that broke apart long before I ever had a chance to take them out in the rain storm we had. That said, had the Butler Creeks held together for me like the old sets I have, I'd think they were a great product, but every set of newerish ones I've had have broken in very short order. They do me no good when they are broken, but I do love the idea behind them, and if they held up I'd think they were great. The Scope Shield Alaska may not be the best product that ever gets produced, or it may end up being, who knows. However, I can say at this moment it's the best I've used that's currently being produced. I've not used everything out there, so I can only comment on what I have used. If you or anyone else has a product that performs better, send me one. I'd be glad to try it out too. If it works better, I'd be glad to keep on using it, and recommend it to anyone that asks me. So far, I've not found anything that works better, and I've had several sets of BC caps, and they certainly don't work better when they are broken. Not to mention, they don't keep any part of the scope dry in any way shape or form either. I'm the least closed mind person I know and shoot more part/pieces than anyone I've met,seen or heard of and am never not looking for the better way. I stated plainly,that I've used everything mentioned thus far in the thread and a host of others that haven't been. That being a fact,coupled with more than a wee bit of R&D to extrapolate same with,do allow me the luxury of not being forced to guess,which is of course how I roll. Conversely,I do enjoy the pics of your schit rifle,schit mounts,schit glass and nary a scratch on any of it,coupled with a pic of a Scope Purse atop and empty tags as your version of a "Field Test". All of that to denote that the piece of [bleep] schit is a joke in the weather,which is more than evident at a cursory glance. Curiously enough,your Imaginary "Hard Hunt" is Secret Squirrel Classified,because even as dumb as you are,you know it'd be hilarious to bill your Flat Landing Forays as anything they ain't. Groovin' that you threw a little Mall Ninja schit in there too. Can hardly wait until you expound upon your "findings",after having launched 10 whole rounds through that POS. Let's extrapolate a smidge. Cheer up,I welded the bases on. Weather do curious things,when goods leave the couch. Try getting out some time,you'll be amazed at whatcha learn and that not all goods is equal nor [bleep] close.

You are a Do-Nothing Day Dreaming Turd Polisher,talking out your ass,as a best case scenario...though it's fitting that you are a victim of both your "intelligence" and "experience" and that both are literal life sentences. Congratulations? LG Texas Tea Bagger, I know facts are more than a trifle unsettling for you and you are The Queen Of Whine. Here's some cheese for you. Congratulations too,on Spanish being your State language! [img] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v136/BigStick/Stuff/AlaskaeatsTexas.gif[/img] In fairness,your Legacy is consumate Douche-Baggery frosted copiously with playing Pretend with your Imagination and the never ending bitch session on how your Life is unfair. Go buy yourself a helmet today and put it on,then head right back to the couch where it's safe. I'll happily continue to feed your vicarious angst and take you places you could never get to and show you sights you'd never see,as my gracious nature is boundless and I'm happy to help those farrrrrrrrrrr less fortunate. It's how I roll. SamO, For conversation,aligning BC's other than with their hinge atop both ocular and objective,is a recipe for concession. Firstly,on a right hand bolt,that keeps the flipper as far away as possible from the bolt and it's cycle path. Secondly,it precludes blocking acuity as per acquisition of a victim,because the greatest percentage of victim travel is going to be to port or starboard on the horizon. Thirdly,as the arm is shouldered,both hands are in a default position to actuate both caps in nano-seconds. Just sayin'. K-She, Your insecurities are palpable and you've a great point,that a 3pt don't rate an Avatar...but beings you is a victim of your "intellect","experience","drive",determination" and "mastery" of the Outdoors,you sadly gotta do the best you can,with what little you got. Bless your heart. I always enjoy your Estrogen fueled rants and eloquent commentary on how you are incapable of connecting dots and that it's always someone else's "fault". On the brightside,you is rather gifted in your first hand accountings of your Vagina Monologues and always give particulars the widest of births. Pun be intended,but someone will haveta 'splain it to you. There's enough of you Do-Nothing Dumbphucks in this Thread,that Biqsqueeze will probably arise from the dead and add some more Imaginary "experience" to the fray,so as to really frost the cake. As an aside IEH,I'm still diggin' on how your jaunts with the Scope Purse really aided the Victim tally. Laffin'!

(FYI-You also need some new material)

Dr KCBighorn, I think you've hit the nail on the head. Midgets have midget brains too.

I have found the Leupold Alumina covers to be my favorite. One feature I really like is the way the covers will lay flat on the scope and get out of the way of a hat brim. Here in Wyoming we don't get the heavy rain but the Alumina have never leaked. I have used the BC quite a lot and figure if you never break them then you must get 10years out of a pair of boots. The new Made in China butler Creeks might be suffering from the same problems as the Stoney Point products but I have not used any recently. Funny as both companies are owned by Bushnell/ Laser Tech. I hope they get any problems fixed as the BCs are a good design.

K-She, I posted simplistic facts,which escape your comprehension due to your copious lack of intellect and experience. Do enjoy that every one of your whines gets farther and farther from the crux and yet closer and closer to your insecurities. The odds are well shy of slim,that you'll kill anything and for that simplistic reason the material is stagnant and again due solely to your inability to connect any dots. On the brightside however...your whining improves every year and you obliviously tote stupidity to places it's never been before and flaunt it brazenly. Bless your heart! JG Texas Tea Bagger, Keep telling yourself that you's doing "something"...schit don't get any [bleep] funnier than that. JB, Alumina's leak like they ain't there and aren't viable for anything with weather. Ackleymam, You've got the 3pt Chronicles really sewn up and that topograhy/vegetation,must really put you to the "test". Laffin'! Really ring the bell now and say a little sumptin' about what you do for a living,that makes playing Prairie Fairy so very "difficult" for you?!!? I'm laughing in advance,because I just KNOW it's gonna be [bleep] GOOD! Must be "satisfying" that you really getting "out there" and "after it",is damned near as "harrowing" as the end of my driveway?!!? Shot these a whole 5 minutes ago. You even had Hutch laughing at you and he has a dry sense of humor. Congratulations?!!?
