[Cottonwalker]

Looking for end caps for this scope and am finding conflicting information re size. Anybody know an accurate answer on what size for each end? Thx.

I threw away my packaging but I believe I was running a #20 on my eye piece and #48 on the objective from buttler creek. The eye piece is really too tight and I founf them to just be a hassle for the sort of bench shooting I do.

Aadmount. No need to know the bell sizes, just order by make and model. Love mine on my ETR.

Vortex defender O-56 for the objective. I used the ares etr sunshade on my Optika6 and the vortex defender fits perfectly. I'm not sure about the ocular, but I run a monstrum 43-48mm on my Cronus and on my Optika6.

I second Butler creek #48 for the objective. For the ocular, regular Butler creek pieces won't fit well as Claybuster715 said, but you can use the see through variety, those are sold in larger diameters. Blizzard #7 should work.

Aren’t the dimensions listed somewhere? Then Butler Creek has a chart so you can find your covers.

Right. . Let Aadmount find the scope dimensions

Butler Creek Flip Open #25 & #48 should work. The eyepiece measures 1.8 inches and the objective measures 2.5 inches.

Junk. Just buy the Aadlands. I tried this before I bought the Aadlands. Caps wouldn't stay closed.

I also bought butler caps and ended up just taking them off.

E-10 and 0-56 defender caps on mine pretty happy with them.
