[QUOTE="antelopedundee, post: 2569464, member: 107384"] Maybe not with the Butler Creek covers which slip over the objective or eyepiece ends. With something like the Leupolds which are threaded you'd likely need to put the objective cover on before you mount the scope. I like mine so that I can screw in the objective lens cover with the scope mounted. Usually with a combination of 40, 42 or 44 mm objective bells and low or medium rings it's easy enough to do. I prefer too much clearance rather than too little. The eyepiece cover can be installed after the scope is mounted and focused. FWIW flip lever type eyepiece covers are pretty much set up for right handed shooters. There are charts that show how various scope bell sizes and ring heights fit together. Of course barrel contour is also a factor as is how far forward the scope can be mounted.. [/QUOTE]
