I am looking for a spotting scope cover or sleeve. What does everyone use, if anything? Its for a Swaro STS 20-60x65mm if it makes a difference. I want something that's not heavy/bulky.

I have the same spotter and use a scopecoat on mine. Decent system - especially for the $$$$, but I wish the open space around the focus ring was a little more generous.

I have a horn hunter on my spotting scope. There is not a large market for those covers. Usually the manufacture builds their own, wish there were more aftermarket ones to choose from.

Me too. I'm not about to spend $300 for a Swarovski branded one.

Amen. I'm partial to Swarovksi but that's FN.

Here's another option:

I have been using Kings scope covers for years and they are great, had one on my first Swarovski Scope a ATM 65 and the scope looked like new when I traded it so I immediately ordered one for the ATS 65 that replaced it!

Kings, Horn Hunter, and Snug-fit are all the same cover. They are built by Snug-fit. Snug-fits you can order black or camo, my camo came from snug-fit but says Horn hunter on the side of it.

That's what I was coming up with while researching. It looks like Snug-fit it is. Probably in Kings camo. Thanks guys

Don't own any of that line, but over the years I've not been impressed with the supplied covers or lens caps. For caps, I've gone to the hard plastic jar lids etc. that one finds on many products in the grocery stores. Some take a little inside reaming with a file or rasp for a precise fit, and they are more than adequate when drilled and equipped with some shock cord.

I have about a 30 yr old Leupold that fogged a bit. Long ago I fitted it with a racquet ball lid replacing the original soft rubber objective cap. A letter accompanying its return said they considered giving me a new cap, but mine was a higher quality item then theirs.
