I am looking to find a lens cover for my NF that flips all the way back like the Leupold Alumina caps do. Also I prefer them to thread into the scope. I have used the Butler Creek slip on covers which are ok but I have broken an objective cover off because it was sticking up open. I know it may have been a freak accident but I just wanted to see if they made someting simmilar to the aluminas or if the 50mm Alumina would fit the NF. The slip on will not fit nor will the bikini because my scope sits too close to my barrel on one rifle.

I cut out part of the bottom of a bikini cover when faced with a similar problem to avoid barrel interference.

Re: Nighforce lens cover questions
Dont think ive ever seen any sort of covers for the NF that have the same diameter as the scope body.

I have seen many people do this, seems to work well. I like using BC caps, even though the ocular housing turns.

Re: Nighforce lens cover questions
I have a BC on the front of my 56mm that I rand a grinder on to make it fit under the objective since I didn't have enough room for a standard cover. I have a Scope Coat on the way. I have heard good things.
