Butler Creek Flip-Open Scope Cover for 48mm Objective Lens

The Butler Creek flip-open scope cover for 48mm objective lenses is built to keep your optics clean and ready in the field—no fumbling, no excuses. Whether you're glassing from a blind, glassing from a ridge, or moving through unpredictable weather, this cover seals out moisture and dust the moment it closes and springs open instantly when you're ready to shoot. Hunters and shooters working in harsh conditions will appreciate the friction-mount design that grips your scope securely without tools or modifications, plus the silent spring hinges that won't alert game to your position.

At less than an ounce, the Butler Creek 48mm cover adds virtually nothing to your rifle's weight while delivering real protection. The air-tight semi-O-ring seal keeps the internal lens surfaces dry and clear, and the design is fully ambidextrous—thumb-flip open from either side. This isn't a compromise cover; it's engineered to stay put through rough handling and extreme cold, tested down to –40°F so it performs when conditions turn brutal.

The custom-fit friction mounts hold tight without marring your scope tube, and the snap-open action gets you from protected to shooting in one smooth motion. If you're tired of lens caps that dangle, get lost, or force you to choose between dust and quick access, this is the everyday solution for serious hunters and competitive shooters.
