The Leupold 118772 Alumina lens cover provides premium protection for 56mm objective lenses with its aircraft-grade aluminum construction. This screw-on design delivers secure attachment while maintaining quick access to optics when conditions demand immediate target acquisition.
What Makes This Different
Unlike rubber or plastic alternatives that crack in extreme temperatures, this aluminum lens cover withstands impacts and environmental stress that would destroy standard protective covers. The precision-machined threads ensure consistent mounting without cross-threading, while the matte black finish eliminates glare that compromises tactical positioning. Alumina coating technology provides additional scratch resistance beyond standard anodizing processes.

Field performance remains consistent across temperature ranges from -40°F to 160°F, making this cover suitable for arctic hunting expeditions and desert tactical operations. The secure threading system maintains protection during vehicle transport, hiking, and rapid movement scenarios. Competition shooters rely on the quick-removal design for stage transitions, while hunters appreciate the silent operation that won't spook game.
