Butler Creek 30310 – Flawless Scope Cover

Description

The Butler Creek 30310 is a scope cover from Butler Creek (model Flip-Open).

Butler Creek 30310 Overview

A scope cover or lens cap set keeps dust, rain, snow and scratches off the glass while the rifle is carried, stored or riding in a truck, and it opens quickly when it is time to shoot.

Covers are one of the cheapest ways to protect an expensive optic, and they also keep the lenses from fogging as quickly in cold, wet weather.

Fit and Compatibility

Confirm the exact firearm model, receiver or slide cut, and the optic you plan to run before ordering, because mounting parts are made to precise dimensions and a near miss does not fit.

Installation Tips

Fit the cover with the lenses clean and dry. Flip-up caps should snap open without touching the turrets or the throw lever, so check clearance with the magnification at both ends of its range. Stretch covers should sit snug enough not to fall off when you walk through brush. No torque wrench is needed; hand fit is all it takes.

Build and Materials

It is made from polymer and finished in black. Machined aluminum and steel parts hold tolerances well, while polymer parts save weight and resist corrosion.

Holding Zero

Accessories that touch the optic should never shift the scope in its rings. After installing anything on the scope body, confirm that the reticle is still level and fire a quick group to make sure nothing moved. A setup that holds return to zero after removal and reinstallation is the goal for every part that touches the optic.

Honest Limitations

No single mounting part fits every firearm and optic. Height, eye relief, footprint and rail spacing all vary, and a part that is perfect for one setup can be wrong for another. Budget mounts can work well on rimfires and light recoiling rifles, but heavy recoil and duty use reward premium machining.

Care and Storage

Wipe off dirt and moisture after a wet hunt with a microfiber cloth, keep a small set of the correct bits or wrenches in your range bag, and check fasteners at the start of each season. A light coat of oil on steel parts prevents rust, while anodized aluminum only needs to be kept clean. Protect the optic from dust and rain when the rifle is stored or cased.

Before You Buy

Match the part to your exact firearm and optic, check the height and size listed above, and contact us with the model of your rifle, pistol or scope if you are unsure. Mounting parts and optic accessories are not firearms and ship without an FFL transfer.

Common Setup Mistakes

The most common problems we see at the counter are simple ones: rings or mounts that are too tall or too short for the shooter, scopes mounted too far back so the eyepiece hits the brow under recoil, reticles that are not level with the rifle, and screws that were tightened by feel instead of to spec. Another frequent issue is mixing parts made for different rail standards, such as Weaver and Picatinny, which can let a mount shift. Take a few extra minutes during setup and the optic will reward you with consistent groups for years.
