Butler Creek Element Flip-Up Scope Cover Eye Piece – Durable, Weather-Resistant Protection for Rifle Scopes
- Type:
- Scope Cover
The Butler Creek Element Flip-Up Scope Cover for rifle scope eye pieces keeps your optics ready for the moment it counts. This eyepiece cover is sized for scopes with a 1.225" (31.10mm) objective diameter, and it's engineered to open instantly with a touch of your thumb—no fumbling, no hesitation when conditions demand speed. Built for hunters and shooters who work in harsh environments, the Element cover seals out dust, moisture, and weather between shots, then flips aside silently when you need to look through glass.
What sets this cover apart is its purpose-built design: the air-tight semi-O-ring friction mount keeps the seal tight without being a struggle, and the watertight custom fit means rain, snow, and blowing grit stay outside your optics. The silent spring hinges won't make a sound when you flip it open—a real advantage when you're glassing game or waiting for the right moment. The whole assembly weighs less than an ounce, so it adds nothing to your carry load, and at -40 degrees F, the seals and hinges stay reliable in conditions where cheaply made covers fail.
Butler Creek sized this cover as Model MO20020 to fit scopes in this specific range, so measure your objective diameter before you order—exact fit matters when you're protecting thousands of dollars in glass. The truly ambidextrous design works for left- and right-handed shooters alike, and the durable construction is built to handle field use year after year.
