Work is the refuge of people who have nothing better to do
Butler Creeks do look nice and look more 'in keeping' with more up market scopes but they are silly money especially when you look at purchasing several at full retail price. Always keep an eye out on here for used ones but never seem to drop lucky that often.

Its a tricky one, they are a daft price. But what price do you put on protecting a good scope?
That said, i believe Butlers are second rate.
Poor Fitting.
Rubbish spring action.
Not actually waterproof either, when the highest point of the scope is a knurled / notched ring, such as a fast focus occular - moisture just runs through the low points.
Have had more success with Bushwhacker tbh. Dont look as good, but actually work better.

What are they like to shoot through if you leave them down?

Like looking through georgian glass.
When they have been used for a week or two and they get scuffed, they are even worse.
They are great covers, but the see through thing is tripe.

Have been using some of these for a while now so thought I would add a little bit more to this thread.
1) As has been mentioned dont attempt to use them with the see through covers down at anything other than the shortest of distances as you are wasting your time.
2) In the gun bag on a number of occasions the covers have flipped open as they are not tight enough. I see this as a real issue and something that significantly increases the chances of the plastic hinges breaking.
3) Bottom line is you get what you pay for, if you have the cash go for the utler Creeks but if you are on a budget these are worth a punt.

After wrecking many sets of BC flip ups and one or two ofthe Polar type - eventually went for the Bikini style rubber covers by BC.
370756374997 on the auction site.
Held on the scope by a couple cable ties around the tube, they WORK and do not break.
Waterproof, quiet and fit any scope. Pricey initial purchase, but have not killed a set in three years of daily use.
Recommended option.
