I was actually thinking of using a polarizing filter on mine to both increase contrast and protect the front element. I've done this on my cameras for... well, forever.
Good info here for those that are unfamilliar with a polarizing filter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizing_filter_(photography)
The trick is figuring out exactly the correct size for a given rifle optic since I'm assuming that the thread pitch for rifle optics is the same as is for standard SLR camera lenses.

Maybe not ideal but the front element has protection till I can get a flip up.

The issue I would have with a polarizing filter is it significantly cuts light transmission. If I remember right, in a camera it reduces the light about 2 f stops.
