I need a flip-up cap that'll fit the 22.3 mm objective on a Lyman Alaskan 2.5x.

I can't find any Butler Creek product that tiny. Does anyone else makes such a thing?

Thanks,

FC

originals were leather. Doubt anyone makes a flip open cover that small for the objective lens.

Might have to just use a rubber bikini style cover. Not ideal but at least it would keep rain/dirt out

Wrap the tube with friction tape and retain 'cap with 3M 88. Never don't not work and exceptionally. Hint.............

You might be able to find a black plastic bushing. 7/8" ID x 1" OD. Then just a matter of using the 1" straight Butler Creek cap.

At least it wouldn't look half assed
