Leupold shows a 42mm objective cover but not sure if it has the same threads. I searched the internet but didn't find anything. The Vortex defender cap I have makes contact with the barrel.

I have scope-cap clearance issues w/Kimber 84L and 2.5-10x42 NXS. I used the Tenebraex cap, cut out a notch for the bbl and ran a strip of electrical tape around. Might not be as "finished" as some folks want, but, it works. The Obj is covered and nothing contacts the bbl. I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.
