Would love to see options for the SWFA SS 3-9 and fixed power scopes! Looks like a great product!

Thanks for the measurements. It's next on my list.
In other news, the design for the Bushnell XRS and DMR is complete:
They're on the site for pre-order: Flip Up Caps
If the first batches pass inspection they'll ship in about three weeks.

I must have missed it on the website and in this forum entry, what type of material are these made out of?
Glad to hear it. Of course you realize that post was worthless without pics, right?
It's possible we'll have lefty versions available in the future after we get caught up on all the regular ones. I can't say when that will be though.
In the process of making prototypes now....

I'm second in line behind Killshot for the ATACR, also need a set on the next run of SS 5-20's.

Here are some snaps I got right before work.
May be putting a darker FDE dot pattern after I take it out and see how it works out here.
Just received my AADMOUNT Vortex Viper PST 50MM flip up scope caps today. They are very well made and designed. The plastic is actually thinner(measured at .053") than the Vortex (Bushwhacker) caps I purchased from Vortex (measured at.113"),thus giving plenty of gap between the cap and rifle barrel. They snap open and close with authority, in other words very tight. They fit the ocular and objective ends of the scope very tightly and require some effort to push on. The caps will not come off by accident. Removing them takes a lot of effort also, rocking top and bottom helps in both installation and removal. Included are small adhesive backed foam squares to help limit the noise of the cap tops opening. When installed just a finger push on one of the front cap tabs is required to open. The ocular cap is easy to open but hard enough not to open with a bump against something. These caps are well worth the price. The Vortex caps were ok, but the ocular cap was a loose fit and had to be opened and closed with both hands.
Jon, the measurements for a March 1-8:
Obj: 1.299" on the end "cap"
1.297" on the tube
Ocu: 1.611" on the end "cap"
1.614" on the tube
According to March's dimensions (BRT's site) they publish similar figures for the ocular on both the 1-8 and 3-24 F-scopes.

Jon,
Excellent work. This is something that's needed doing for many years. Will you ever make the front and rear caps available separately? I already have a pretty good solution for the Obj. on my SWFA 5-20 SS.
Interested in:
SWFA 5-20 SS
SWFA 1-6 SS

My personal set on my March made it through hunting season with flying colors:
The rifle was banged around into and out of vehicles, crawling through thick brush, into and out of a saddle scabbard, etc, as is usual (and usually enough to break BC's in short order).
Good news, I'm still working on the ATACR but the NF 50mm NSX/F1 caps are now available for pre-order (should start shipping in a couple weeks):
Flip Up Cap Set, NightForce NSX, F1, 50mm
Yes, they are available separately. I've clarified the option a bit on the ordering page so it should be easier to do now.

And the photo does not show it but both the front and rear Butlers on there are broke. Both have been replaced twice so lets see, three sets of B&C at $8 each = $48 and they didn't make it a year. One set of AADACOVERS + $90 and last a lifetime. Math works for me.

Jon...what's up with those lesser rings on your hunting rig? It seems like it needs a set of Aadland rings.

Are the F1 caps the same as the SFP NXS 3.5-15 x 50mm?
No, please do!
Prototypes in the pipeline....
Haven't gotten around to the 1-6 yet, but the 3-9 is only about two weeks away and there is a limited number of 5-20 caps in stock now!
Will have prototypes soon, so still a couple weeks away at least.
Heh, nice try.Jon...what's up with those lesser rings on your hunting rig?
The A-Bolt with the March is my hunting rifle, and it has AADMOUNT Double Lug Rings. The NF is on a customer's rifle, and he has been flogged severely. Yes.
In other news, we now have in stock and ready to ship a limited number of caps for the XRS, DMR, 50mm PST and SWFA 5-20: Flip Up Caps
Caps for the SS 3-9 and 3-15 are on the site for pre-order, expect delivery in a couple weeks. Our first run of NF NSX/F1 50mm caps has shipped out to those who pre-ordered but we are out of stock again. Expect a couple weeks before we have more of those.
Thanks everybody.
I just ordered for my HDMR.
Definitely in for the NF 2.5-10x42 on the day they are available.
How close do the measurements across different scopes have to be to have a reasonable chance for a cap designed for one scope to fit another? My Bushy Elite 4200 is an exact match for the Bushy 3-21x50 measured above for the objective and measures 1.603 on the ocular. How close is close enough for an acceptable fit?

I don't know. Could you measure the outside of a killflash?
It sounds like the objective would work fine, but that's too big a difference on the ocular--the cap would fall off. I'll need to design a cap that fits.
