Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Scope caps for Bushnell LRHSi

Anyone have experience with a good set of scope caps (upgrade from Butler Creek) for the Bushnell LRHS? It has a 44mm objective but I'm not sure what size to use for the ocular lens......

I use these.

bingo......

Can't go wrong with AADMOUNT, but if you just want some el cheapo see through scope covers check out 'Quake Bushwacker 270 Optics Cover' from Natchez. I've lost Butler Creeks and AADMOUNT covers, so I figure for <$10 bucks I'll rock these.

What size cap are you using on the back??

You mean me? If I recall, it's a size 5 on the objective and a 3 on the ocular.

I've never had any objection using the Butler Creek caps, but I did upgrade to their Storm Cap series with the clear glass windows instead of the black out plastic covers. You can still see to shoot through the glass covers and they keep the dirt and moisture off of the scope. I'm not sure what more I could expect from a flip up scope cap? Lots of different sizes and I've got them on my binoculars too.

The Vortex Defenders are a fantastic bargain at $20 each, and have held up great through three years of rough use in Idaho. They aren't AADMOUNT, but they are closer than you'd believe.

Thanks for the heads-up on the Defenders.....I'll have to grap a set and try 'em out!

I've broken several of the Butler Creek flip-ups, and have migrated over to the bikini style, one size fits all.




Those AAD caps look nice though.

Only $99.95!

That's nothing when you have LRTSi money...

BS - Doug's price was saweet! LOL

I kinda like the idea of putting US made parts on my Jap scope on my Finnish rifle though....

Are the Vortex Chinky?

I’ve really come to like the Defenders and what they offer for the money.

Color me wrong to guess.

Vortex Defenders are Made in the USA. Can anyone verify which model numbers fit?

That's what I've been using for the last 10-15 years and they work great, you just have to make sure they don't end up in the grass where you're sitting. I picked up a set of Defenders tonight and the rubber is much more pliable than the BCs so they're easier to get on/adjust. High hopes for these but thank you for the link to the AADMOUNTs too.....

Nebraska, do you happen to have the Defender sizes that fit? I'll go ahead and order a set. I have a LRTSi coming and want to get some protection on it right away.

Thanks a bunch for the thread...

Don't leave your rifle on the dash, on a hot summer day with the defenders on..... That soft rubber splits and falls apart real quick.

I used them for a short spell, real short. I’ve got two sets. I send you a set for $25 delivered.

You guys are such downers. LOL

We'll see if they'll hold up to my hardcore safe sitting!


I'll take them Kingston.
