Rifle Scopes Butler Creek cap size for Vortex Viper 6.5x20x44??

[tl511]

I could use some help matching up the right size butler creek caps for my Vortex Viper 6.5x20x44mm scope.

Using a digital caliper, I get the following measurements.

Objective Lens - 2.030"
Eyepiece - 1.713"

What is the rule of thumb when trying to match up caps that will work? Also, if anyone has this scope and caps on it, which ones did you buy?

Thanks

Vortex has their own flip caps now, you might want to look at those too. I like them better because they fold down almost flat. You would need sizes FC-5 and FC-6 for that scope.

I think there is a thread that lists all sizes for the different scopes on here somewhere. I know i've seen it.
