Butler Creek Flip Open Scope Cover Question?
I have a pair of butler creek flip open caps on my rifle scope. i've seen them positioned to flip up but also seen them flipped to the side. is there any advantage doing it either way? i have mine flipping up but am considering rotating them to the side. thanks
I have the Butler Creek flip open caps on all of my rifle scopes.
They are really designed to be positioned up and down (North/ South).
When positioned that way --- and as VLD said --- I can naturally raise my right thumb, and press the red release latch on the ocular scope cover, as a normal movement --- without unshouldering the rifle. The Objective cover works similar with my left thumb is naturally raised an inch or two to "bump" open the Objective release.
When positioned sideways --- you can't really perform those movements naturally. If you have them positioned sideways, and are hunting with an experienced hunter --- he may likely think you are a "new" inexperienced hunter and just trying to be "TactiCool" as TahoeGuy calls it.
As stated before --- to each his own --- but you really gain nothing from repositioning those scope covers sideways --- but just draws attention to the person as "trying" to look "Cool". You may likely lose the respect of the older more experienced hunters in camp --- but if it really works for you, maybe give it a try. If you plan to be associating with other hunters and building a relationship with these guys and earning their respect --- you don't want to come across as acting "too cool". You will want to "meld in" with these guys --- act more like you've been here before, and have experience. You don't want to be the one they are making fun of, in the evenings at the campfire,after the hunt.
