DEFENDER FLIP CAP LENS COVERS Reviews & Ratings

DEFENDER™ FLIP CAP EYEPIECE

Virtually indestructible, these caps will fit snugly on nearly all Vortex Optics and features a snap flat spring that will keep your line of sight unobstructed. Rifle ranges the world over are littered with broken flip caps. This is one cap you will most likely never see in a flip cap boneyard. The Eyepiece cap has three stop positions. The first vertical, to put your dope disk (optional accessory) literally right in your face. The second at a 45° and the third at 90° to lay flat back. The Eyepiece cap fits all Vortex® Riflescopes except the 1-inch tube Viper® model VPR-M-01BDC, VPR-M-04BDC and VPR-M-03BDC.

Design and Usability

Seems like a long term win
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.

Effort required for installation but worth it
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.

Quality is very good, fitment is terrible
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.
