[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 604250, member: 39764"] I found a fairly simple solution for my Leupy benchrest... I'd set 'em down and forget 'em..... I drilled a hole in the cap (in the center), to accept a small pop rivet. I removed the pull shank from the rivet leaving the center hole. Then I threaded a length of monofilament fishing line through the hole and attached it to the scope tube with a square knot.... I heated and mushroomed the end that passes through the hole in the cap (so the cap rotates but the mono stays attached). The caps stay with the scope, the mono is stiff enough it don't get tangled up plus it's clear so no distraction. You could actually lanyard them on to the ring mounts or anywhere you want. You have to be cautious when drilling the cap because it's thin aluminum. Excepting drilling the cap, it's all simple and straightforward. Takes about 5 minutes total. Just size the rivet (hole) to the mono. [/QUOTE]
