Butler Creek Flip-Open Scope Cover - Size 09A (Eye)

The Butler Creek Flip-Open Scope Cover in Size 09A is an eyepiece protector designed to shield your scope's front lens from the elements when you're afield. Whether you're glassing for game, shooting paper at distance, or moving through brush, your optic's lenses face constant exposure to dust, moisture, and impacts that can degrade optical clarity and coating. This flip-open cover keeps those surfaces clean and protected until the moment you need to look through the glass.

The design is built around simplicity and speed. A light tap or finger pressure pops the cover open and springs it out of your line of sight—no fumbling with caps, no separate pieces to lose, no delay when a buck steps into an opening. The weatherproof, dust-proof construction resists moisture intrusion, which matters whether you're hunting in rain, snow, or high-altitude dry conditions where dust clouds kick up underfoot. Because the 09A is an eye-end (eyepiece) cover, it protects the rear lens from damage and contamination during transport and storage, and shields it when your scope is mounted and slung on your shoulder.

Butler Creek covers are a field-proven accessory in the hunting and shooting community. Measure your scope's eyepiece diameter to confirm Size 09A is your fit—each size is engineered for a specific lens diameter, so getting the right number ensures a secure, snug fit. The eye cover and objective lens cover are sold separately, so you can outfit one end or both depending on your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need both an eye cover and objective cover?

No. Each is sold separately. Many shooters protect both ends for complete lens coverage, but you can choose to cover just the eyepiece (rear) or objective (front) depending on how your scope is used and stored.

How do I know if Size 09A is the right fit for my scope?

Measure the outside diameter of your scope's eyepiece (rear lens). Size 09A is engineered for a specific diameter range. If you're unsure of your measurement, contact us with your scope model and we can help confirm the correct size.

Will this cover stay on if I sling my rifle?

Yes. The flip-open cover is spring-loaded to stay closed and seated on the lens. The hinged design is meant to move out of the way when you need to shoot, not to fall off during carry.

Can I use the cover while my scope is mounted on my rifle?

Yes. The low-profile design is compatible with most scope mount systems and shouldn't interfere with your cheek position or sight line when closed.
