    Unhappy Nikko Sterling turret cap crisis

    I was fortunate enough to have a friend who graciously lent me a Nikko Sterling Diamond Hunting 3-12 x 56 | 30mm scope for the new rifle I recently purchased. However, upon returning to my car, I discovered that I had inadvertently lost the top turret cap while out in the field. I feel quite embarrassed about this mishap and would greatly appreciate any assistance in locating a replacement cap before I return the scope. If anyone could kindly guide me in the right direction, it would save me from further embarrassment. Thank you for taking the time to read my request.

    You could try Optics Warehouse or . I suspect the turret caps are fairly common across the range, so you may get lucky.

    Yep, as above. You might also be able to try the NS importer. Also, sometimes some shops may well have a "rummage box" of all sorts of useful bits and pieces and have just the item that you need?

    I lost a turret cap a few years back, a week or so later I decided to retrace the route on the off chance of finding it.
    Walking along I noticed a boot lace was loose so knelt down to re-tie it, there was the scope cap about 8" from my foot
