Thanks much for your demo, decided to purchase a couple of these for my burris rt6. Your vid helped me decide if I can make this work with a little red dot over the scope. Trying to set up a versatile workhorse AR.
My experience with Butler Creek: I own a lot of scopes. Purchased BCs for most of them and found them to be entirely unsat. The biggest problem is that most of them will not stay closed. The best caps I've found are made by Vortex. I have no experience with some made for specific brands by or branded for their scopes.
The little pin in the hinge tends to wiggle out of place. I instantly replace those with soft steel nail, bend it and clip it. Ugly, but it works. Also, I've destroyed several B&C BLIZZARD see-thru caps. If the cap pops open unintentionally and you do an intense stalk in bush or, god forbid, low crawl, caps just get caught in you webbing shear right off. So.. I'd give them rating 2/5. Pretty shitty in my experience. They may last if all you do is shoot stationary at the range, but why would you need scope caps there, usually there is a roof.
I just wish they would flip forward and all the way down. Like lay flat, you know? Vortex's scope caps lay flat. With a ballcap on the Butler's are kind of a pain on the eyepiece. I still run them but just saying. Maybe someday they'll come out with one like I'm describing.
This I true hahahah. I know many times I've flipped them open only to hit my ball cap or cowboy hat in the winter months. But, we take the good with the bad I guess.
Garbage! The Rear cap snapped off at the hinge. Butler Creek would not replace the cap because I threw the receipt away. Worst customer service ever!!!
Excelente la explicación, me sirvió mucho, gracias saludos desde Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Aadland caps are very nice
Aadland are the best. Not cheap, but the best.

$65 for both caps. I hope they last. I’ve had plenty of the older butler creek and they always broke
Use fuel alcohol, and slides right on.

will the sizes you bought for this scope fit the swfa ss 10x42 also?
KicksLikeA Hammer yes, they will fit all the SWFA fix power scopes
Vaughn Precision thanks. I just started getting into semi long range shooting. I'm getting a lot of useful information from your channel.
20 Eye, 30 Obj. I copied this straight from swfa website.
Front caps are junk. Rears with the opening lever are ok.
butler creek is junk, all mine broke
