Re: uso butler creek size??
I know this might sound like a little more of a pain, but if I was you, I'd purchase the ones direct from USO. I got a new scope with them and not only are the USO marked, they seem to fit better and are more burly than my old butler creeks. The eyepiece cover looks to be a special fit with an extra flange to keep it indexed and still allow for use of the diopter. The rings that the covers snap over seem thicker than standard butler creeks.
Oh yeah, and depending on the age of the scope, there are different eyepiece and ergo designs which might change the dimensions. (I know for certain on the objective.)

I have broken every one of the Butler flip-up caps on my USOs that I have gone to the bikinis. Those little plastic hinges just too weak, at least to sit on top of the rock that a USO is...

Re: uso butler creek size??
For future reference, Butler Creek has a list of sizes on their website, so you can make sure you are getting something that fits what you have. The multi-flex covers give a little more room for error. The factory ones look pretty good, though, and sounds like they are made to fit.
