Flip up caps for Vortex PST Gen 2 5-25x50?

[vmaxhp]

I have recently acquired a Vortex Viper PST II 5-25x50 scope. Butler Creek 43 looks like it'll fit the Objective end. None of the eyepiece caps from BC look to fit the eyepiece (1.8"). Does anyone have experience using BC on this scope? Other suggestions that work well?
Thanks!

The vortex ones are actually pretty decent. The AMG came with them and I had no issues. I like that they fold flat as well.

+1 for the Vortex brand, I think they work better than the Butler Creek ones.

I know with the old PST Gen1 and Viper HS and HS-T the BC numbers were 14 & 43. Don't know if the Gen2 is the same, or not?

I have the vortex brand as well and have been very happy with them, really like how they can fold flat, they’re the defender series. I wish I could get something very similar for my Mark 5.

Vortex Defender ones are good, I've also used the Monstrum brand ones. The Vortex seems opens more flat on the scope, but the Monstrum ones are more secure in that I've had some vortex ones you could basically look at wrong and they'd pop open. Both are much better than the old Buttler Creek ones, though to be fair I think I saw Butler Creek had a new version out that looks beefier and also has an option to fold flat. I've never really had a problem with the Buttler Creek eye version where it has the lever to pop it open, it's always the objective ones that seem to pop open too easy.

Vortex Defenders are the easy button. The O-50 and E-10 will work. Also for those worried about it they are made in the USA.

Here's a set on a PST 5-25.

The defender caps i agree are the best bang for the buck

Another vote for the Vortex caps.

Got the defenders, like them, but I need some double sided tape for the eyepiece side.

I have the same scope with Vortex Defender flip up covers and they are the bomb.
