MK machine scope caps?

I give the edge in secure mounting to the MK, the tensioning bolt locks it to the scope very well. The Tenebraex are a bit tougher and somewhat more versatile. They will flex, the MK's will not, they also reposition and remove fairly easy, which may or may not be important. Both seal well. The MK's will take a paint finish better by far.
I have more of the Tenebraex than the MK. Quick and easy to remove when I mount a clip on, adding an ARD or sunshade is equally easy.

I don’t like Tenebraex. My NF scopes have them and I will replace with AADmount or MK. Based on my current experience, I prefer AADmount caps but the MK’s look similar and MK’s other stuff I have has been great.

I like the Tenebraex fine. Seems like I might prefer that attachment system. Just really trying to save a few bucks.
MK machine caps kinda flap there when it’s open. They don’t flap enough to close but they don’t lie flat and secure like AAD mounts. I wouldn’t buy them again, I’d choose aad or tenas.
I loved my Tenebraex caps but the rear's for the PMII 5-25 leave a lot to be desired. They're just press fit on, with a 3 prong retention, and if I have the flip up cap oriented wrong, I can actually knock it off with my bolt. I was thinking of going with an MK Machining rear cap.
I run Tanabrex on the rear and a MK on the front of my ZCO. I prefer the way the Tanabrex lays flat so I can see my dials. I tried the MK set, but after a few range trips, like mentioned already above, the weaker spring causes the scope cap to flop around, especially in the wind. If they just tweak the spring tension, they'd have a winner. Other than that, they're a great overall design and look and function great.
