Rifle Scopes Scope caps/cover for really low scopes?

[Victor Co Heather]

(Note: I know this must have been asked before but i searched to no avail)

What are you guys doing for scope covers when you have a #7 barrel, 50mm objective and medium rings? There's about 2mm between the barrel and objective bell- can't fit butler caps nor the NF bikini cover.

Anyone else have this problem? Solutions?

You are talking about the plastic cap right?

Riggers tape and a boot band.

Or a Butler Creek Bikini Cover if you're Metro.

BTW somebody sneaked in and turned your negative backwards.

Yes. </div></div>

Oh shoot. I wish I would have know that before I took the file to the #7.

I'm kidding of course.

Same thing here. I have a MTU contour on a surgeon action with Badger USMC 30mm rings holding a USO SSDS. I put the BC cap on a grinding wheel a few times till I could get in in there.
