The Biggest Mystery in FT ? Big Nikko Flipup ?

[SCOTTY73]

Can anyone out there tell me where i can get a front objective flip up (Butler Creek or similar ) for a 2007 sunshade on a Big Nikko 10-50 x 60 ????
Iv'e measured the outside diameter with a micrometer & it's 69.9mm .
I have been told that they are no longer available is this true ?
Does anyone have a 2nd hand one?Or know if there is anywhere still stocks them.
If it's a secret can someone PM me please.
Thanks Amigos

The largest one currently listed is 65.4mm diameter. What it needs is an enterprising chap on here to make up some stepping rings that fit on the sunshade but present a 65.4mm spigot to take this BC. It ought not intrude into the objective too much.

sporting supplies in bloxwich do a set for the big nikko, not quite as good as butler creeks but better than nothing £9.95 a set, i have them on mine and they are not to bad

A stepped adaptor for the end of the sunshade? 69.9mm to 65.4mm which is the current largest diameter is 4.5mm which i wouldn't have thought would impeed the objective to much.

I agree.

Sunshade with stepped down tube to fit current Butler Creek Covers, which he sells as well...
