Triggernosis, That's a 12 power by 42 objective lens... Jesus.
Anyway, this thing has been sitting on the bench seems like 3 years, probably longer. I'm throwing a 264 Win Mag together with mostly stuff I'm not using so this scope is getting the job. Want to but Butler Creek scope covers on it. Question on the sizing.
Objective measured 1.943
Eye piece measured 1.748
I figure that means I need a size 30 objective and 20 eyepiece.
Any suggestions? I know there are a lot of these scope floating around the forum.
Thank you gentlemen,
Lonnie

I hate Butler Creek. To me, they are flimsy. I use only the bikini rubber scope covers. Cheap and durable.

I like the see through blizzard caps more better. Rubber is a little more forgiving. Dont need to open cap if you need to make a quick close up shot.

I've gone to the bikini covers also.

Used the BC flip-up caps for several years, and they just break off too easy, especially in the cold.

Where did you find that dwarf with the tiny hands to do your video? Is the circus still in town?

I never had a BC flip-up break off from the closed position.

It's when they are open, temps well below freezing, usually just walking along with the caps open, the ocular rubs against my side, or arm, and snaps off at that little hinge pin.

Seems the plastic just gets brittle when it's cold. First time I thought it was just bad luck. After breaking three or four in the same manner, I went with the bikini. Just take the whole thing off when shooting or hunting.
