    Flip up scope cover advice please

    Hi guys.

    I've decided to buy 2 flip up scope covers for my new Vortex scope and I have a question that I hope somebody can please answer for me. Basically, I've measured the scopes eyepiece to be 40mm and the front objective to be 50mm. So when I actually order the flip up covers, Is It best to order the exact measured size of 40mm & 50mm or should I order slightly less or more than what I measured? Say 1 mm smaller or larger. Without actually being able to try the fit before I buy, I'm not sure what to do.

    Thanks

    Maybe check with supplier what they recommend to fit you scope, if not familiar with yours, give them actual sizes

    Vortex will be able to tell you - and their flip up covers are by far the best I have used

    I've got a Vortex 50mm you can have for £5 postage if you want it, horrible thing.

    Exactly, only flip-up covers I use now are the screw in metal ones as per Hawke & MTC.
