Butler Creek Flip-Open Objective Lens Cover - Black Polymer, 57.20mm (Model 30400)
Butler Creek
The Butler Creek Flip-Open Objective Lens Cover in Size 09 (37.70mm) is a no-nonsense lens protector built for hunters and shooters who need fast, reliable glass protection without fumbling. This black polymer cover pairs custom fit with one-handed operation—flip it open with your thumb when a shot presents itself, and close it just as quickly when conditions demand it. The design keeps your optic safe from the elements between opportunities while staying out of your way when it matters.
What makes this cover stand apart is the combination of speed and sealing. The watertight, airtight design uses a semi-O-ring to lock out dust and moisture, and silent spring hinges mean you won't spook game when you open or close it. At less than an ounce, it adds virtually nothing to your setup, and the friction-mount system anchors it securely without permanent modification. The ambidextrous flip hinge works equally well for left or right-handed shooters, and it's been tested to perform in brutal conditions—down to -40°F.
Size 09 fits objective bells measuring 37.70mm in diameter. Whether you're glassing from a stand, running a tactical rifle, or hunting in wet mountain country, this cover delivers the reliability you need from a brand trusted across American hunting camps for decades.
