I think it's a significant fault with NF. Or atleast, it is in my view. The turrets aren't capped(as they should never be on a real scope), so why would they assume removable lens covers would be acceptable in the field? They aren't.

Whats needed is a flip-up cover which can itself can be turned to desired orientation regardless of the power ring position. Somebody offered them for awhile, I bought em, and they wouldn't fit any scope on Earth. So I live with the problem as described above(rarely changing power).

Dirty, dinged, scratched and muddy turrets aren't going to f%^k up your sight picture.

i just pull mine off when i am going to shoot i have mine centered at low power with all of my ballistic info on it and if i need to go higher on power the cap fits loose enough that i just pull it off toss it on the ground and pick it up when i am done along with any empty cases there might be

The fellow I spoke with at Nightforce stated that he had never thought about it and that he would relay it to the engineers (yah right). Murf

Chris,

Maybe your right and the process is just a little slow changing all power models. My question to Nightforce was which scope covers do they as the manufacturer reccomend. I asked this question, because I ordered the flip up covers with my scope and noticed the problem right away. When they told me they reccomended the flip ups, I explained the situation I was having with the ocular housing rotating with the power ring. I really thought my particular scope was defective not owning one before.

Does anybody know if the 3.5-15 scope has the same issue with it's eye piece as the 5.5-22?
