Like Devo suggest a set of Butler Creek Flip up scope covers eliminates a lot of worry about the lense surface and also helps protect the lens as well. The investment is meager considering the return IMHO, a set runs under 20 bucks. Make sure you get the right ones as eyepieces and objectives are different(the best option is take your rifle or if your buying a scope find the proper Bulter Creeks before leaving the store).
