The Butler Creek 30440 Flip-Open Objective Scope Cover provides instant lens protection with quick access capability for 59.90mm objective lenses. This polymer scope cover eliminates the fumbling and potential lens damage associated with traditional threaded caps during critical shooting moments.
What Makes This Different
Unlike rigid threaded caps that require complete removal and storage, this flip-open design stays attached to the scope via a flexible hinge mechanism. The cover opens with a simple thumb flick and automatically locks in the open position, preventing accidental closure during shooting sequences. The precision-molded polymer construction provides superior impact resistance compared to metal alternatives while maintaining consistent spring tension over thousands of cycles.
Key Features
- Flip-open design allows instant lens access without removing the cover
- Fits 59.90mm objective lens diameter with secure friction fit
- Black polymer construction resists UV degradation and temperature extremes
- Integrated hinge mechanism locks open during use
- Low-profile design prevents snagging on gear or vegetation
- Ambidextrous operation suitable for left and right-handed shooters
- Textured grip surface enables operation with gloved hands
Field performance remains consistent across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F, making this cover suitable for hunting, tactical applications, and competitive shooting. The polymer material provides silent operation - critical for hunting situations where metallic clicks could alert game. The secure fit prevents moisture, dust, and debris from reaching the objective lens while maintaining easy access when shots present themselves.
