The Butler Creek 20200 Flip-Open Eyepiece Scope Cover delivers instant lens protection with one-handed operation for riflescopes with 1.77-inch eyepiece diameters. This polymer cover eliminates the fumbling associated with traditional lens caps while maintaining optical clarity when it matters most.
What Makes This Different
The flip-open design stays attached to the scope during use, preventing lost caps in field conditions. Unlike threaded caps that require two-handed removal, this cover flips open with thumb pressure and locks securely in the open position. The precision-molded polymer construction provides years of reliable service without the weight penalty of metal alternatives.
Key Features

Field performance centers on reliability and speed. The cover opens silently for hunting applications while providing audible confirmation of the locked position. Competition shooters benefit from the consistent one-motion operation between stages. The polymer material maintains flexibility in temperature extremes from -20°F to 160°F, ensuring function in diverse conditions.
