The Butler Creek 30430 Flip-Open Objective Scope Cover provides instant lens protection with one-handed operation for scopes with 58.70mm objective lenses. This spring-loaded cover snaps open with finger pressure and closes securely to shield expensive optics from dust, moisture, and impact damage.
What Makes This Different
Unlike static lens caps that require removal and storage, this flip-open design stays attached to the scope at all times. The torsion spring mechanism delivers consistent opening force through thousands of cycles while maintaining a weatherproof seal when closed. Butler Creek's polymer construction resists UV degradation and temperature extremes that cause rubber covers to crack or become brittle.
Key Features
- Spring-loaded flip mechanism opens with light finger pressure
- Sized specifically for 58.70mm objective lenses (Size 43)
- Black polymer construction resists fading and cracking
- Weatherproof seal protects against moisture and debris
- Stays attached to scope - eliminates lost lens caps
- Silent operation for hunting and tactical applications
- Compatible with most scope brands in this size range
Field performance remains consistent across temperature ranges from -20°F to 120°F without spring fatigue or seal failure. The low-profile design clears most scope rings and mounts while the textured grip surface allows reliable operation with gloves. Hunters appreciate the silent opening mechanism that won't spook game, while competitive shooters value the rapid lens access during time-critical stages.
