Scopecoat

Post by JEBar » Sun May 26, 2019 1:02 pm

have you ever not been able to find something that you know has to be around but you don't have a clue as to where .... in speaking with Evan (ESquared) about our August Gathering in KC (first link below) we decided it might be fun to bring a variety of Henry and other firearms that anyone interested might enjoy seeing and/or firing ..... one I mentioned that interested Evan is our 30+ year old Remington 700 BDL chambered in 300 WBY Mag .... to say its out of the box recoil was harsh would be a pretty big understatement .... for that reason it underwent several upgrades to reduce felt recoil .... a few years ago she was outfitted with a 4X16 Nikon Monarch that I haven't gotten around to zeroing .... hope to get that done before the gathering .... much to my surprise, when I removed it from the vault, the scope covers were missing .. :?: .. I've looked everywhere I can think of with no luck in finding them .... I finally figured that the quickest way to find them was to buy a replacement .. :roll: .. so, this morning I drove over to a local gun store where I looked at individual, flip up lens covers .... while the front one would have worked OK, the one that fit the rear lens wouldn't .... I ended up purchasing Scopecoat (second link & and shown below) .... didn't know they existed until this morning so I have no clue how it will perform down the line .... at $19 it cost about half of what it would have taken to buy 2 individual flip up covers .... now I wonder how long it will take to find the OEM covers

I think you'll like it. The Leupold I borrowed from my son has a Leupold sock on it. I didn't know they existed either until I got the scope from my son. Turns out there are plenty of after market socks out there. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=scope+sock+c ... _ss_i_2_10

good to know .... Amazon has the one I purchased locally .... by the time I figure in driving to get it, the pricing is about even .... if this one proves out like I hope it will, I'll probably buy others when needed

Love the ScopeCoat but here is my 'Scope SOCK'
Free, easily made and disposable!

I like those, whether Leupold, Weaver or Cabelas marked ;) . I find them a good way to keep dust, etc. off the lenses, and they're easy to remove when hunting or sighting in, etc. I just stick 'em in the gun case. I never hunt with any type of lens cover on the scope, just one more thing to cause a snafu when you least expect it :) .

agree .... I wish I'd of known they existed before this morning .... I have a few scopes with flip-up covers that tend to be aggravating at times .... I have a hunch that they may well get misplaced down the line .. ;)

I love my Butler Creek flip ups. Can't see how they would ever be a hindrance to me. Not a spec of dust either...JMO. :)

My Scope Sock was implemented about five minutes after seeing the ScopeCoat!
