[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 586693, member: 30902"] Brad I've had to do it in the past on some and there's a trick to it. only submerge about a half or 3/4" of the part that slips onto the scope in the hot water and only push it on about 3/4 of the way. If you push it too far on, or get the locking ring stretched (where the cover locks when closed) you may never get it to latch reliably. On some of my bastard scopes like the IOR's I've had to use objective covers on the ocular lens as well since they didn't make one large enough for the back end. Best to use a caliper and get the exact measurment of the objective and ocular to be sure and use them with the size chart. Also they now make some which are more flexible than the original that have more stretch to them which is a big, big help. [/QUOTE]
