Flip cover for Leupold MKIV spotter

[DT1]

Does anyone know where I might be able to find a Butler Creek flip cover for the objective lens of a Leupold MKIV spotter? It looks from the size that I'd need a #61 but I can't seem to find one anywhere.

I've got the scope mounted upside down on a TIM-17 and the cordura cover it came with does not work well with that mount.

Thanks for any suggestions or info!

I'd pick up the Triad Tactical cover. Order of magnitude better than the factory cover IMO.

Thanks, the Triad Tactical cover is a good one but won't work with my set up. Need a flip up cap for the objective lens.

Are you sure they make a #61? The largest I found on their site was a #51. http://www.butlercreek.com/productsImages/charts/flip_scope_chart.html

The only currently available system is to get the Tenebraex ARD, that has the flip cover. BC no longer makes the larger covers. It was also required to use the sunshade, which Leupold no longer makes either.

Thanks Cory. BTW, I'm really enjoying the TIM-17, thanks for hooking me up!

What's the diameter? Quake industries make flip caps up to 2.45" just another option.

Thanks for the suggestion. Actually, I picked up one (rather, a pair) of the Tenebraex covers and it fits perfectly. It serves the dual role of flip cover and ARD.
