I have five sets. I don't know if they are worth a hundred bucks. They are rugged, they work exactly how they are supposed to work. What that's worth is a personal choice.
AADMOUNT caps are the best. Low profile, tough, open flat against the scope. I really dislike the vortex caps both in looks and feel.
Worth every penny. Bought Vortex Defenders and I hate them compared to my Aadlands
Yes. $100 caps on an expensive scope is a good investment. They are very tough.
What scope your putting it on..nikon millet barska? Then my answers not worthed..
Sb theta nf or anything cost 1k or more...its a good investment to protect that 1k glass

I disagree, I recently replaced my Aadmount caps with Tenebraex caps and I am much happier. The Tenebraex caps allow you to mount the scope lower than the bulky Aadmount caps. Which is more important to me.
I just got my $1200 Bushnell LRSTi and purchased the Vortex caps, Unfortunately the Vortex Ocular cap I bought is not sized very well. Ironically the two Vortex caps fit my Mueller 8x32 very well..
Aadamount are custom sized, and I like the design and my scope has the clearance... And like all of you had said, I'm protecting over a Grand of glass. So I think I'm going to pull the trigger and get them.

Interesting this comes up now, I am considering getting a set of Aadmount caps for my DMR2. I am really hating how my Butler Creek's don't open flat against the scope. Might have to just place the order!
I've had several pair. Managed to break an eyepiece once upon a time. Send Jon a picture and a couple days later a new cap was on my doorstep! I like them slightly better than the tenebrex caps.
Put them on all my expensive optics. Made like a tank. Just bought another pair yesterday after seeing this post, for a scope that I just ordered.
Same experience here. Still my favorite caps, also think they seal better then the tenebrex ones.
Yes they are worth it. I encountered a few bumps in the road when I first tried to order these caps because of an error on my part with the web site. Jon reached out to me and made me an offer I could not refuse. The scope caps are top of the line. Quality gear,,, do it.
Cat tails are an extra item that may also be worth pursuing.
I have Aadmounts on my 624i. They are tough, they can be tightened, and I can pick up a 15lb rifle by the objective cap. I don't do this on the regular, but it's just a testament to how strong the hinge design is.
I think the Aadland caps are worth it. Prefer them over the Defenders, but Haven't tried Tenebrex.
I did have one break when my rifle fell over and landed on an open cap. Sent Jon an email and had a replacement shortly.

^^What has already been said.....the Aadmount are worth every penny; if not available for specific scope Tenebraex is a great Plan B.
I have, I think 4 pair, but a lot of others. The also like the tenebrex caps and Vortex Defenders.
The ONLY downside is they are loud as shit.

Loud when you open up the caps you mean? Like the spring is so strong that the cap "thwacks" the scope body?
Yes, and the only an issue hunting. Solved with controlling the the cap, but maybe I’ll try tape as a pad
