19Scout77, I know it's only been a couple of weeks, but do you have any updates on availability? I need a replacement for a BC 19 eye that broke again.
I have had 3 sets brake within the last 5 months none were abused just bumped does anybody make some out of an alloy of some kind
Man I've broke a couple sets of these POS every year during deer season...I'm done with them. My last scope purchase is still naked as like others here, I just don't know what else to use. The scope coats and bikinis work but it's just nice to hve something that stays on the scope. Frustrating...
I got tired real fast of those piece of crap breaking all the time and I don't need anything I need to babysit to make sure they last. I tried a set of those bikini scope covers and after a year they are on all my scopes held in place with a black zip tie to the scop tube, never lost or broke one, isn't even a worry anymore and they are super cheap.
cheers.
cheers.
Hey guys, not to resurrect a dead thread but I still haven't found any good flip up covers. Any updates on the aluminum ones mentioned earlier?
I just finished a new coat on my rifle and I would like to get some flip ups that aren't complete crap.
Hey guys,
I threw on some Butler Creek flipups for my Vortex PST for a course last week and both of them broke! The first was the eyepiece and when I went to adjust the magnification I bumped it and it just snapped off. Minimal force applied. The Objective piece just went flying off when I flicked it with my thumb when going down to range some targets. Nothing too strenuous. I contacted SWFA about a return but have yet to get a response. I will call them after work today.
Anyone else have this problem?
Just snapped off.
I live in Dallas and went down to SWFA and I asked them about this very thing. THey looked very unsuprised. I need another good brand for my Vortex razor HD.
Never had a problem with any of more than 8 sets.
I go pretty easy on my stuff. But it sounds like the breaks y'all are having are for very light use as well.

Hello, Butler Creek, I heard a song... "Take these caps n shove 'em!" I've got AADMOUNT caps now.
When I counted all of the $$ I have spent on Butler Creek garbage, swallowing the $100 pill wasn't too bad. The small square is an adhesive backed foam to soften the blow of the caps opening so well. I didn't know they were needed but it is of no consequence. The caps are well made and shipped quickly. Thanks Jon!
