flip open caps on scope? size?

[timmyjimmy5150]

I have a scope with a 67mm objective and a 44mm eyepiece....
Butler creek makes some flip-open lens covers.....
Now....
for the objective they have a 67.1mm cover and a 69.2 mm cover.... do I go with the 67.1?

For the eyepiece they have a 43.9mm cover and a 45.1mm cover...
Go with the 45.1mm cover?

Let me know

grab a cabela's catalog and stick your scope on their handy dandy little chart.

if that can't work for ya, then assuming the i.d. of the obj is 67 mm, then buy the 69 mm caps.

the chart thing kinda-semi-sorta works sometimes. You're best off if you can find a local store and take your scope in

make sure they're real snug on the bells. If not, they'll slide off when you try to open them, particularly the one on the objective. Voice of experience here.

I use Butler Creeks on all my scopes. All.

If your scope is in between Butler Creek's sizes, order the smaller size cap.

Butler Creek Scope Covers

I love these scope lens covers and have them for several scopes. I bought mine from Midway and for several it took some returns and retries. I used my dial caliper and measured the outside diameter of the eyepiece and objective in inches (not mm) for the most foolproof measurement.

I believe what you need it is the 19 eyepiece and the 53A objective. The 19 eyepiece cover should fit an outside diameter of 1.720 to 1.755 inches. The 53A objective cover should fit an outside diameter of 2.630 to 2.665 inches.
