Rifle Scopes Vari X-III and alumina caps

Re: Vari X-III and alumina caps

I have a 4.5 - 14 x 50 VX III and keep a 2" shade mounted.I use the screw on style to keep dirt from getting into the shade / objective. Unscrew it when I pull it from the case and leave it there. They do not really lend themselves to be used in the field. My take.
