Rifle Scopes Bikini Covers

[Oleshep]

I see a lot of guys talking about using these. Who makes them and can you get ones that have plastic lenses so you don't have to remove them to shoot? I did some searching and could not come up with anything useful.

thank you..

OP, are you not concerned with the plastic lenses on the bikini covers compromising the clarity of your glass? I have a set of clear bikini covers for my PMII, (I use tenebreaux covers now) and I hadn't really considered leaving them in place while I shoot, for fear of the clear plastic messing with my German glass. However, you have stated that you need them to stay on for your applications, so I guess that's that.

I have the same issue, the BC caps suck.

well yes shooting with the bikini lens in place would be a compromise but if I am in a static position with time I would just remove them for optimal clarity.. Besides you need to protect that expensive german glass if you want it to stay clear..

Ha! That's what my ARD is for.

By the way, what type of scope are you using? If it's by chance, a PM II, you're welcome to have the set of bikini covers I have.

This particular rig is a USO ST-10. That is a 37mm Objective. What size is the PMII?

Bummer. My PMII is 56mm. What's strange is that even though my SN3 (3.2-17x) has a smaller objective lens than my S&B, I swear the tubes are about the same size.

Yeah I have noticed that before too..

Maybe you should call John, or Becky at USO, and see if they can't point you in the right direction? In any event, good luck, Olshep.
