Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Opinions Of Butler Creek Scope Caps???

What do you guys think of Butler Creek scope caps???

Have them on every scope I have my .02

they work fine IME. they're also about all you can buy locally anymore.

They're great,I'ce got them on all 12 of my rifles.

They work, but i dont use them anymore....just a bikini till i get where i am going then nothing

I use them on all my scopes. Used the bikini cover but not anymore. Scope caps are quicker for me and I don't lose them!

Can't think of a scope I own that doesn't sport them. Course 15'+ rain a year makes them a necessity.........

There OK, but the ones Leupold makes are way nicer. The BC caps will have a "pop" sound if you open them too fast. The Leupold ones are dead quiet, but then again, only fit the new Leupold scopes. I uae the BC caps on my other scopes. There pretty much the only game in town

Semi-useless--like all the other Yuppie Flippie Uppie scope covers..........Storm Queen scope covers are the best thing I've seen or used so far.

The solid Butler Creeks are on all of my hunting rifles. They're helpful during moisture but invaluable in keeping grit off the glass and it's very expensive coatings.

Alpine, can you provide a reference or contact for the Storm Queens?

I have a set on every scope that I own.

I like them primarily to keep foreign objects from scratching the lenses as well as keeping out dust when riding on ATV's.

Yep Casey, they don't work worth a [bleep] in our rain forest. Nor does the 223AI or Barnes X.....

The Butler Creek caps are not for left handed rifles. The projection can and will interfere with bolt work.

It's Bikini covers for this boy. If I lose one, it's $6.00. If the Butler Creek keeps me from killing an elk, it's a year of buying beef. And I like elk a lot more than beef.

Ditto - and if you lose one, spares are cheap and should accompany every trip anyway.

If it's rainin', they stay on till I need them off, otherwise, protects quite effectively from rain, dust, snow and other chit that can degrade the "picture" or actually damage the glass.

Cheap, quick and quiet.....works for me.

I have them on all my rifles. I would say it's a necessity for me.

Did the bikini thing, and it worked fine, but they would get lost a lot, and occasionally snagged on willows, etc.

I also don�t ever use the rear one, the one with the red button, instead using two front ones, the flip open kind, for both the objective and the eyepiece end.

I've got BC caps on most of my scopes. When its not raining I leave the caps open, if its raining thier closed. I used those Bikini covers for a few years but I lost al least a couple of them every year.
