Butler Creek Scope Covers

Years back, the flip-open scope covers were the best thing since sliced bread...however, since Bushnell took over Butler Creek the same scope covers are junk - hinges break at the slightest bump, covers crack when it gets cold, they pop open without being popped open,....anyone else experiencing the same thing? So without going to the $80.00 Leupold aluminum scope covers (great kit by the way)...what's everyone doing for a scope cover? So far, the best thing I've come up with is a bikini cover wire tied (zip tied) to the scope tube...

That's what I use except the bikini is tied with para cord to the front ring. Those bikinis are becoming harder to find around here, btw.
Besides, that way, the scope and I can match.

Good idea, I have a couple motorcycle tubes I could try that with.

Excuse me...I gotta go wash out my minds eye with Clorox...
Seriously, I still have BCs. My two complaints are one, the price and two, the rear one keeps popping open on a couple of them. Other than that, I have had ok luck with them. Nothing is made like it used to be. Time makes a lousy yardstick. The newer made stuff just doesn't measure up.
