Pretty specific question but here goes. Has anyone run aadland caps on a nightforce? If so how do they run and is there any interference from the bolt with the occular cap?
Rifle Scopes Aadland Caps on Nightforce

I don't open every box we sell, but the last few Nightforce scopes I looked at had Tenabraex caps, which were great. I would not change. FWIW.
I'm actually not a fan of the tenabraex caps since they don't have as much lock up compared to the aadmounts and always seem to pop open.
I run them on a few NF, great caps, but yes, you have to be mindful of where the mechanism sits. The same is true of any cap that rides low and has a similar release.
Yep that's where I struggle since at certain mags the caps interfere with my bolt. I have not been impressed with the tenabraex caps since they seem pretty flimsy.
The cap attaches to your mag ring???
I have his caps on a Leupold MK 5 and it tightens up to the ocular and does NOT attach to the mag ring. Now, I did have to move a mag throw lever about a bit on a Viper on my .308 to avoid bolt handle interference, but not with the Leupold AAD caps.
They do hold on tight....bit of a pain to get them closed sometimes. he suggested a light film of oil until they wear in a bit....didn't find that to work that well but with a bit of experience, I can get them fully closed without struggle. But they will not open by accident and that's what I wanted.
And they are very well built.
I also see that MK Engineering is now offering printed caps very similar to AAD....but I don't know anybody who has fielded them yet.
Cheers
I run Aadland front cap on my Nightforce NX8 1-8x. It is FAR more durable then any other scope cap I've used and is awesome.
I don't run the rear cap because it obstructs too much of my view.

The atacr’s ocular is the mag ring. The entire thing rotates. It’s the dumbest shit ever.
@siscoe308 let the kind folk know what you think of your caps on your atacr
