I have 3 different scopes that need scope covers. I like Butler Creek Blizzard Scope covers. I have 4 scopes that need covers but 2 are the same thing. They are all Leupold scopes. I just find attempting to find the right scope size cover hard and don't want to walk into a store carrying 4 scopes, 2 of which I'm sure I'd drop on the floor and break.


They are a Leupold Mark AR 3-9x, a Leupold VXR Patrol 1.25-4, and two VX Freedom 4-12's.

Thanks in advance.
 
A cheap digital caliper is indispensible for shooting and reloading.
I just measured my scope with one last week.
I bought my butler creek covers from Amazon. They had a chart to get the perfect fit.


Is using a caliper the only way? No way to tell by the specs?

And it works perfectly?
 
Not sure how much you want to spend or if you are set on the Butler Creeks, but with the Leupold scopes, Leupold also sells their Alumina screw in scope covers. They make models to fit their eye piece and objective end of the scopes based on the models you have and Leupold scopes come pre-threaded to accept them as long as the scopes aren't too old. They are expensive but they are the absolute best thing going that I've seen.

This reflects a quick search on Bass Pro's website to give you an idea but you'll likely find more options and perhaps better pricing on Amazon, Optics Planet, etc.

Yes. the chart gives a range of fitment.
The calipers will measure with hundredths.
My two new sets fit perfectly.

But.....

I like hillman23 suggestion too.
 
Allumina Leupold covers are good to go for post 2004 models. Although left up in this photo they fold flat to the top of the scope.If unsure what you need contact Leupold they will give product number for covers for each scope:thumbup::thumbup:
