Rifle Scopes Flip caps for Leupold Mark8 3.5-25x56

[TangoSierra916]

Hey everyone,

Hoping to draw on the groups knowledge here. Have a few Mark8 scopes that came with the stock Leupold covers and are causing clearance issues on the 56mm objectives. The caps that came with the Mark 8 are less than desirable for the caliber of scope in my opinion.

I’ve called Leupold and Tenebraex and both have said there is no thread in option.

Anyone here know of a lense cap that will thread in similar to Tenebraex covers?

I wondered the same thing and came up negative. Good luck on your search.

thanks for the link, I havent tried those but they seem to be similar design to the Leupold branded ones. Im really looking for ones that screw into the objective and ocular similar to Tenebraex. I think the ones you posted may have similar clearance issues that the current ones have, but thank you very much!

I have the AAD on my K624 and love it - there is a set screw on the caps so that it fits the lens and you don't have to walk/wiggle them on.

they look very nice, I selected Leupold mk8 but only one pair is available on back order, im not sure if they screw in or fit over the edge? lol Ill call them and see.

From their website: "Note: Caps listed as "Backordered" may be ordered at any time. The sooner they are ordered the sooner they will be made and shipped. Most "Backordered" caps will ship within a couple weeks of being ordered."

I received mine within 2 weeks of ordering.

Are they threaded covers? Meant to ask earlier are yours for the mk8?

mine aren't treaded - I have them for the Kahles K624i - I think all of AAD's scope covers have the set screw (mine do).

hey followers, so got some exciting news, atleast to me. lol. Ive been talking to Tenebraex about making a custom objective flip cap for the MK8 3.5-25. They're good to go with it (4 week wait working through design details now.

If youre interested in one or a few let me know they may drop price if more than a few are ordered, we'll see. lol
