Rifle Scopes Caps for large objective scopes?

[Johnson184]

Hey all,
While I was configuring a USO SN3 3.8-22x scope on their website, I noticed that they don't have any Butler Creek flip caps available for their 58mm objectives. What did you guys end up doing?

I ordered the screw-on cover instead.

Butler Creek dose make a 58mm objective lense cover. They are available.

For their sizing chart, should one go slightly larger or smaller to ensure proper fit? They have a 57.2mm and also a 58.7mm one for objectives.

And are you supposed to base the flip-open cap sizes on the objective len's size? Because it's 68.9mm top to bottom counting the housing.

The measurement is based on the outside diameter of the scope, not the size of the lense. Try and call USO they probably have them.
