VORTEX OPTICS - DEFENDER FLIP CAP LENS COVERS

Tight fitting, heavy duty, durable Excellent option, tight fit, rugged. Time will tell if tight fit endures over time, unlike lower priced competitive options. Resetting requires some time due to the excellent tight fit. Initial installation can be made effortless with a few seconds of MILD blow drier heat applied before installing. The slight additional effort required to install and adjust is worth the security once installed.

Excellent option, tight fit, rugged. Love the 3-position cap. Time will tell if tight fit endures over time, unlike lower priced comptitive options.

I have three Vortex scopes, two of that are the same size externally. The scope caps fit very snugly and are very secure once installed. Getting them installed can be a chore and is best accomplished by opening the cover and pressing the sleeve outward from the inside to stretch it around the ocular bell. I was able to install them without using any lubricant. Overall, I like the protection level and will install them on all my Vortex scopes in the future. They should work on other scopes too.

I used my calipers to determine the diameter of the scope bell and eye piece before ordering as I should have. But the scope covers will not install at all without some kind of stretching or heating or greasing or something else. I did not want to harm my scope or the covers, so I guess I just have a set of covers I may never use. My scope eyepiece needs to rotate for focusing but the covers do not allow that. Same for the forward bell's functioning. I think these covers are for fixed power less expensive scopes than mine. They are nice covers, though, just not what I need. There should be more data offered in the description, so others do not make the same mistake. Brownell's choice of shippers was terrible in this instance, though, as it appears the covers were lost "somewhere" for about three days or so.

Works as advertised
