Yeah, Tyler makes nice stuff, but for that price, I think the old Arken set I put on there from my EP5 will work.

Arken objective cap (5.600 iirc) was too loose on my DNT shade cover. I even had an old Arken one that was too tight on EP5 but worked, was slightly less in diameter, still wouldn’t fit properly.Yeah, Tyler makes nice stuff, but for that price, I think the old Arken set I put on there from my EP5 will work.
It was a tight fit, and it might not be ideal or 100% correct size, but it's locked on there good and doesn't move, which is alright with me. As long as it stays closed and keeps crap from getting on the lenses, I'm good to go.
Ordered two more of these from Doug last night. That makes 5. lol they are too good for $599 and now I don’t have to swap other scopes around.
Had a strange issue with my DNT the other day.
I've had it on my 308 for about 100 rounds then I moved it to my 300winmag, which was it's intended home from the beginning.
Mounted it up in an ADM mount and bore sighted it. Same mount used on the 308. First shot, windage almost dead nut, elavation 2.5 moa low. Okay, not bad. Dialed elavation, sent another one, .5 moa higher and left of my first shot. Clean cold gun, alright, send one more to make sure it's settled down, almost same hole.
Okay we're good to go.
Still 2 moa low, dial up 2, pull the trigger, 2 moa high. Huh ? Send another one. Right beside it. Wtf?
Down 2 moa, send one more, 2 moa low. Okay dial 1 moa up, send another, bullseye. I was getting exactly double what I was dialing, but only with the elavation. Windage was good.
Ran out of ammo and daylight so I packed everything up to head in and that's when I noticed my can was barely tight. I just touched it and it came loose. It wasn't loose loose, but it took almost no effort at all to spin it off. SiCo Omega ran direct thread.
Would that cause my elavation shift like that ? If so, why only elavation ? Windage never moved. Just wild vertical.
I need to load some more ammo and get back out with it.

My suppressor only affects my elevation. So it’s very possible if it was back off it could cause issues. With it being “almost” tight hard to tell. I would redo your procedures amd see what occurs once everything is tight.
I’d shoot it unsuppressed to eliminate that additional variable while checking your scope performance. If still wonky, I’m sure it will be replaced asap as they’re trying to make a market move with this scope IMO.
Considering you just mounted it, I’d look there as a possibility as well. I’ve had issues with turret adjustments that were fixed by loosening one ring at a time and retorquing. Problem solved. Something must have bind when securing the scope the first time. Had this happen twice.
