    Bikini scope covers. I keep like 10 of them around on different rifles. They will never break. But once in awhile you may lose them due to to buck fever

    Re: Scope covers - what's best

    Thanks folks, some good advice!


    I was deciding between the Butler Creek and scope bikini so glad to see both were mentioned. I've been mostly tooling around on ATVs with a buddy but really want to start getting into the bush so want to make sure everything looks clean when I finally get a bead on a deer.


    Yup, definitely worried about losing the bikini with the adrenaline rush when I site a keeper - did I mention it's been 7 years of trying without one???? Glad to see that these guys https://scopeshieldcover.com/ have a way of connecting the bikini cover to the barrel so that should keep it close. I think based on the feedback I'll get the Butler Creek that Ryan and others mentioned for my 6.5 Creedmoor and a bikini for my 22 and see how I like both.


    Cheers, BR

    I’ve gone thru countless Butler Creek flip ups...even with them being taped on.
    My old Leupold wasn’t compatible with the aluminum flip ups but now I have a newer rifle with a newer scope. Now have aluminum flip ups and love them.
    I still add a neoprene cover when backpacking to help protect the scope when in my scabbard.

    Exactly! Or they fall off. Thought I was a bit goofy doing this. Helps keep the rain from coming down the barrel too.
