What scope cover do you guys use? I’ve seen a few guys just use a neoprene scopecoat, but I’m not too familiar with their build quality. Looking to get a new ATACR 4-16 and want to keep it decently protected when not in use.

I end up breaking mine all the time plus sometimes it's a major pain that they dont flip back far enough to be flush with the scope. I've never owned tenebrax caps so maybe I'm overlooking something here.Honest to God I use the Butler Creek bikini covers on my two ATACR's, a 4-16 and 5-25. I wasn't too big of a fan of the Tenebraex covers so I took them off and haven't really regretted it since then.
Do you have a 4-16 ATACR? The sizing on those covers just seem a little wide-ranged.I have been using scope slicker for my atacrs, easy on and off,
Yeah they come with the Tenebrax caps, but I’m I guess I’m talking more of an actual cover for the scope while it’s in the safe to prevent from rash and whatnot.Really? Why's that?

I've been a big fan of Vortex defender caps since they're moderately priced and extremely hard to break. Plus, you can store a dope card in the front cap.
Side note, don't all nightforce scopes come with tenebrax covers to start with? maybe try them to start with and move to something else if you don't like them instead of buying something right off the bat.

I see what you're after now, I guess my next question would be why? Considering the hard anodizing nightforce scopes come with, it seems to me like rash shouldn't generally be a problem until you take it out in the field and drop it on a rock or something. The glass will be protected by the flip caps.Yeah they come with the Tenebrax caps, but I’m I guess I’m talking more of an actual cover for the scope while it’s in the safe to prevent from rash and whatnot.

The Armageddon Gear Trojan might be worth a look into. A buddy of mine has one and loves it. Protects the scope and doubles as a carrying mechanism.
Exactly. If I’m spending the money on the scope, I might as well try to keep it protected as much as I can.if you're hunting in the rain and snow...you might want to keep it out of the weather until you are ready to take a shot.
I figure that if I’m spending the money on the scope, I might as well make sure I keep it protected. Especially if there’s a relatively cheap way to do so.I see what you're after now, I guess my next question would be why?
