Get higher rings or don't use the caps. You could use a bikini cover, too. I don't use anything on mine, it's either in my hands or in my bag.

I have bcs on my muzzleloader and didn't have full clearance between the objective and the rear sight. I ended up sanding the bottom of the cap (bout halfway thru) so that it would fit. Not sure if you have the space to try that or not.

Use a razor blade and cut out a small section of the cap where it would touch. 1/4 should do it. Have done this on a couple rifles and the caps still work like normal.

This is exactly what I did on my 5-20 that i put on my 5R with Seekins low rings. Its awesomely low and the caps still work with no issues.

I had a 5r with seekins low rings and a 5-20x50 as well, I ended up going with the bikini cover.

What bikini cover will work with the sun shade installed?

Cut the bottom portion of it that touches the barrel, and use some double sided tape to keep it on. Problem solved.

This one works for me with the sunshade on my 5-20x50

I use a Nightforce 50mm bikini cover on mine. Use some paracord to secure it to the scope when not covering the lenses.
