[QUOTE="Koda_, post: 2721865, member: 121268"] I have alumina covers on a scope too and am on the fence. I really like the design but have also had them flip open unintentionally. I need another hunting season to tell if I want to stick with them. It rains a lot in my state, add sleet and snow during elk season. In the coast range its super brushy so quick shots are important.... whats always worked for me over the years is a simple cheap rubber bikini style scope cover but I loop a rubber band to the front (objective end) then loop that to the barrel/stock (inside the sling swivel). I add another one on the off side near the rear lens securing to the scope body itself so when I pull the scope cover and release it flips off in one motion and flips to the off side of the action (rather than dangle down) keeping the scope cover close to the rifle and less likely to snag on any brush if I need to move quickly. Everything is a trade off, but Ive found that letting the scope lens fill with even light rain is a total deal breaker sighting in on game but the extra 1.5 seconds to flip off a bikini scope cover is workable.
