Scope Caps
I have a problem, I am looking for a good scope cap, or some way of keeping the rain and snow off the inside of the scope. I see alot of caps that you have to push a button to have them open, also the ones that you flip off, I use the ones that keep the snow and rain off the inside but they always fog up, or rain droplets on them, They work for sh-t when you have to pull up and shoot fast, you cant see. I was thinking about trying to put some rain-ex on the scope and trying that. Any suggestions would be appreciated

RE: Scope Caps
I don't know anything about the rain-x, but I would try the rain-x on some cheap scope before putting it on a good one. As far as covers, I have the blizzard brand pop-ups and they work fine as long as you get one that fits the scope perfect. If there a hair too small, the caps won't stay closed and if there too big they won't stay on good. I have a nikon 3x9x50 that I have a perfect fit on and they work great. In fact, I used them in the cold and rain this morning and they did not fog. However, I also have a leaupold var-I and I can't find one to the fit the eye piece correctly. the one I have is too small and won't stay closed. To sum it up, the blizzards are great if they fit.
