Is there a better option for flip-up scope covers than Butler Creek? I'm aware of the Leupold Aluminas, but I don't want to spend $100 for them. Any of you have experience with another brand? I've had BC's in the past, but they always manage to fit funky and end up falling off eventually even ordering tighter fitting ones.

igchris suggested the Vortex defenders to me recently. I put them on my Meopro and Vortex Diamondback and haven't been disappointed. They are very well built. They slip over the scope like a sock and the covers have the ability to flip back entirely. I believe the Butler creek covers stand up vertically.





ETA: The hard part now is determining which to get to fit your Leupold

The one I put on my Meopro slips slightly when I go to open the cover, but it's not that bad. I guess it wasn't made to fit that specific scope, but it fits it good enough. I've really been impressed with them.

Came here to recommend the Vortex Defenders as well.

They do. And it's annoying, especially in a shoot-house/blind with a shallow opening.

I'll look into the Vortex models.
