Looking for scope lens covers for my ATACR. Mainly used for storage purposes but not against flip ups.

Yeah. Vortex defenders are the best for the money. You can do Butler Creek at $10/each if you like replacing them often. Aadmount would probably be the best but they’re pretty spendy. Tenabraex are also good but still pretty expensive and I didn’t like fishing the objective cover out of the scabbard every time I pulled the rifle out.
The Vortex Defenders are what I have on that very scope. I will say I sanded off the Vortex logo, though. But they fit pretty snug, lock tight, and fold flat against the scope and click so they stay there and don’t flop about. I did have a bit of an issue with the ocular cover. It was raining pretty heavily and i went to open it. They were locked closed tight enough that it peeled the cover off the scope, then opened, flipping it into a big mud puddle. After that I secured them with a couple of black zip ties.
I liked them enough on that scope that I have been buying them for all my scopes.
Edited to add: If it’s simply for storage then get a scopecoat or whatever it’s called. It’s like a neoprene sleeve to put over the scope. That’ll still keep the dust off it but also protect from safe rash from other rifles if they bang together.
I went with Tenebraex, if they don't have it they can make it, including ARDs. As long as it's under 2.xx something though, still can't find a cap to fit a USO spotter.
The Tenebraex shit is pretty solid, not cheap but solid. Caps fold all the way back.

Not answering for the OP but I didn't like the rear Tenebraex cap on either one of my ATACR scopes and took them off and in doing so took the fronts off too. The mounting collar is a weak point and in my experience the cap comes off/opens too easily while carrying the rifle.
I put some Leupold Aluminas on my Bushnell HDMRII

I did a thing.
So I wanted something better than Butler caps. Took my sunshade to my machinist buddy.... threaded it to match a 52mm Leupold Alumina cover. Created a slip on rear aluminum threaded piece for a 36mm Leupold Alumina Eye piece. Enjoy.
