Rifle Scopes BC cap sizes. (Tried but cant find info)

[hydro556]

I have seen some contradictory statements on this.

I am needing to order Butler Creek caps for both ends of a Viper PST in 1-4 and another in 6-24x50.

Can anyone say definitively the sizes I need? I will likely order from Scott, but didnt really want to bug him about it right now as he has a lot going on.

Here is a sizing chart that should help you:-

I have this chart bookmarked because I recently purchased a set. Unfortunately, upon receipt, I noticed that they were no longer made in the USA but instead the Philipines. IMHO the quality is not on the level of an earlier set I purchased about 15 years ago. I will not be using them.

Here is a thread I started regarding the BC lens caps:-

Yeah, they dont seem to be what they once were, but I dont know of anything better without sending a lot more money.

The BC's still seem to do the job and I want something on there to protect the vulnerable parts.

Thanks for that list.

I know Scott has a list of every PST with BC sizes, I would search for that, and dont worry about anything else.

I don't know if Scott (liberty optics) messed up when he sent me my 6x24x50 but my butler creek caps I got with it fit way loose, to loose to even try to use hunting, I have a spare bikini cover that I have on it now will try a different brand next,

I havent gotten my big PST yet and didnt know if they came with caps.

My 1-4 came with some silly bikini style hard caps and I dont want to use them.

Do the numbers match up with whats in the thread I linked? The numbers should be stamped on the inside of the cap somewhere.

The one that is loose is the eye, it is a 16 size, it slips on way to easy
