The Leupold 59040 Alumina Scope Cover shields precision optics from debris, moisture, and impact damage that can compromise shot placement. This screw-on aluminum cover fits 36mm objective lenses with threaded housings, providing military-grade protection without adding bulk to rifle systems.
What Makes This Different
Unlike rubber flip-caps that crack in extreme temperatures or slip-on covers that fall off during transport, this aluminum cover threads directly onto the scope housing for permanent attachment. The matte black anodized finish resists corrosion and eliminates glare that reveals shooter position. Machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, it withstands impacts that would destroy polymer alternatives.
Key Features
- Precision-threaded aluminum construction for secure 36mm objective lens protection
- Matte black Type III hard anodized finish resists wear and corrosion
- Screw-on design eliminates accidental loss during field operations

Field conditions demand reliable equipment that functions when needed most. This cover maintains lens clarity by preventing scratches from brush, debris, and handling damage during transport. Law enforcement, military, and competitive shooters rely on threaded covers because they stay attached during movement, vehicle transport, and equipment handling. The aluminum construction handles temperature extremes from desert heat to arctic cold without material degradation.
