Default butler creek flip top caps on scope.

i have them on al my rifled scopes. when you all use them, do you leave the flip tops down? or do you leave them up when you are in your stand?
i have found in my experience. when i leave them down when i flip them up once in awhile they will get hazy cause of the differant temps when they where put down at the house.
what do you all do.

I like them a lot! I leave them open once on stand and only close them when I am done hunting. See ya.

I am going to be the devil on this one and ask you all a question...sorry. If you flip them open while in the field to prevent hazing, etc, what real purpose do they serve?

I agree with skeeter. The purpose of having scope covers is to use them.

I'll also go with skeeter on this. I dont open them until I need to. If your scope is fogging here is a tip to help prevent it....as a safe guard you could leave your rifle out side overnight so it is not subject to temperature changes. I put mine in the front seat of my truck overnight. Actually you shouldn't experience condensation forming when you go from warm to cold. Condesation usually forms when something is cold and then warmed. This is a golden rule for muzzleloaders. If you go out it in the morning and intend on returning for an evening hunt you should never bring the rifle indoors, condesation will form in the barrel and soak your powder charge.

I open mine while I'm in my stand.
