Installation and Compatibility: Finding the Right Fit

Installing the Butler Creek Flip-Open Objective Scope Cover is remarkably straightforward due to its slip-on design. Simply slide the cover over the objective bell of your scope until it's seated snugly. The inner diameter of the cover is precisely engineered to provide a secure friction fit on scopes with the appropriate objective outer diameter for a "Size 10" cover.

It's crucial to select the correct size for your specific scope. While the UPC 051525301004 identifies this as a Butler Creek Size 10 objective cover, understanding the Butler Creek sizing system is key. Each size corresponds to a range of objective (or eyepiece) outer diameters. For a Size 10 objective cover, it is designed to fit scopes where the objective bell's outer diameter falls around 1.734 inches (or 44.04 mm). Measuring your scope's objective bell outer diameter precisely is the best way to ensure compatibility before purchasing. If you're unsure, consult your scope's specifications or measure it accurately with calipers. Choosing the correct size ensures the cover stays put and offers maximum protection.

The Broader Picture: Maintaining Your Investment in Optics

A rifle scope is a precision instrument, and its performance directly impacts your shooting accuracy and success. Protecting your objective lens with a high-quality cover like the Butler Creek Flip-Open is a fundamental aspect of comprehensive optical care. Beyond just physical protection, consider these factors in maintaining your scope:

• Cleaning Protocols: Always use lens-specific cleaning solutions and microfiber cloths. Never wipe a dirty lens with harsh materials or your shirt, as this can permanently scratch the coatings. The objective cover helps reduce the frequency of needing to clean.
• Environmental Awareness: Be mindful of extreme temperature fluctuations. While the polymer cover can withstand these, rapid changes can sometimes affect optical components.
• Storage: When not in use, store your rifle and scope in a clean, dry environment, ideally in a padded case. Keeping the objective cover on during storage adds an extra layer of defense against dust and accidental bumps.
• Handling: Avoid dropping or unnecessarily bumping your scope. While robust, extreme impacts can shift reticles or damage internal components. The objective cover provides a first line of defense against minor impacts.

Common Questions About Scope Covers Answered

What is the primary benefit of using a flip-open scope cover?
The primary benefit is rapid, silent deployment.

When the correct size is chosen, the slip-on mount provides a very secure friction fit.
