Get higher rings or don't use the caps. You could use a bikini cover, too. I don't use anything on mine, it's either in my hands or in my bag.

I have bcs on my muzzleloader and didn't have full clearance between the objective and the rear sight. I ended up sanding the bottom of the cap (bout halfway thru) so that it would fit. Not sure if you have the space to try that or not.

Use a razor blade and cut out a small section of the cap where it would touch. 1/4 should do it. Have done this on a couple rifles and the caps still work like normal.

This is exactly what I did on my 5-20 that i put on my 5R with Seekins low rings. Its awesomely low and the caps still work with no issues.

I had a 5r with seekins low rings and a 5-20x50 as well, I ended up going with the bikini cover.
