Leupold Alumina Flip Back Lens Cover - 44mm - VX-5HD, VX-6/6HD & Mark 5HD

Nice product and seem well made. Rear (eyepiece) cap pops up with just a push from the thumb and lock in place nicely. I’ve read a few reviews now where people say they have to remove scope in order to mount front cap but that is not the case. The cap can be lined up to any position then the front collar of the cap can be rotated clockwise to assist with tightening as needed. Great lens protection and would recommend!

The Leupold Alumina Flip covers are not cheap, but they are THE BEST scope covers out there, bar none! They are very light, SOLID (metal, not plastic), and will flip up and lay flat along the side of the scope. They are adjustable so you can flip them straight up or to lay along the side of the scope body. and can be locked in that position. They are not see through, but solid metal and protection for your scope. They thread into the end of your scope. PLEASE NOTE: These will not work on some of the older scopes! They will not thread into the older scopes. If you have a scope and wonder if you can use them just call Leupold and speak to customer services and they will let you know if they can be used or not. These are built for specific size scopes, 36, 40, 44mm objectives etc. They also have different sizes for the Ocular (eye piece) end. When looking in a catalog it can be a bit confusion at times. Call Leupold custom services, give them your scope model and they will tell you and exact models you need. Excellent product, put them on all my Leupold scopes (only work on Leupold scopes), Highly recommend. W

A must have on a nice rifle.

Great product. Love the low profile design, the fact that they are silent when opening and closing and I like that they screw into my vx5 scope. I used to use butler creek caps. They would fall off or be too tight and they made noise. Never go back. Pricey but well worth it!!

Initially thought I was in the camp of those talking about having to remove the scope to install due to clearance of the hinge when screwing in. However, thanks to David’s review — just open the cap and then can screw the collar from the outside into the scope. As it tightens can then adjust the cap to desired position.

This fits perfectly on my; VX-5HD 3-15X44 CDS-ZL2 SIDE FOCUS ILLUM. FIREDOT DUPLEX Part # 172368. It is a bit tight to open but does keep the moisture out.

Great cap. Little pricey, but you get what you pay for. You will need to get another one for your eye piece. This is only for the objective end. I have it on my VX5HD 3-15x44mm 30mm tube

Would buy again
