Flip Open Scope Covers Primary Arms 4-14

[peeplwtchr]

Hi All-
I am wondering if anyone has purchased flip up scope covers for the optic below. I know that the widths are 42 and 51mm for the ends, but i am wondering whether the beveled eyepiece focus adjustment will cause an issue.

Please let me know what worked for you.

Should not have any problems, my swfa ss has a similar style, I've never had any trouble. Just set the focus where you need it and put the caps on. I use butler creek.

Only pic I have showing the rear. But they fit good on the swfa

K, I was looking at butler.

must say I like the scribbles on the turret caps!

I've had no issues with those steps on scopes either. sometimes when they are sized just right they will actually seat in the step of the cover.

Lol it does work, nice thing is the nail polish can be removed easy and does not hurt the Finnish. Tho could just us some tape.

The Butler Creek #19 eyepiece and Butler Creek #31 objective will fit. I use them on both my Primary Arms 4-14x44 ACSS-HUD-DMR-308 and 4-14x44 MIL DOT. The caps do not effect scope function for me.

Hmmm I ordered the 21. 2/10 mm difference.

And the 31.

 

[peeplwtchr]

Thanks guys, just got them, and the 21 fits great. They seem kind of flimsy, but for the price they're great I think. They are also ultra light. I won't be seeing combat anyway. This site always has the answers.

I've never broken one, just don't be a 200lb gorilla with them.

 

[peeplwtchr]

Thanks. They are going on a gun I will not bang around (DD V7 Pro), so I'm sure they'll be great. Thanks for heads up.

Butler Creek sells two types of caps - I use the flexi-caps or whatever they call them. It gives you a bit of "stretch" that the standard caps don't, so you don't have to be quite so precise when measuring. They're the same price.

 

[peeplwtchr]

Thx, I think that's what I got, as they aren't vert hard.

Too late for this case, but the Vortex caps are a better option than the Butler Creeks, for not much more money. I’ve broken less hinges on vortex caps than butler creeks, likely for 2 reasons: 1) a little tougher polymer used in the hinges, and 2) the 270 degree fold back ability of the Vortex caps - they won’t snag and get exposed to destructive forces as often. Not saying the Butler Creeks are bad, but saying the Vortex are certainly better.
