Default Zeiss conquest hd5 scope cover.

Hey does anyone know where to find scope covers or flip up caps for the zeiss conquest hd5 3-15x42. I had the factory cover and it never made it back from hunting camp last season. I see a couple flip up covers coming from the states but if I can find some in Canada or even better Alberta I’d rather go that route. Also reviews or recommendations would be great.

Thanks, Cody.

Thanks for the replies, I saw that Tenebraex is it with the premium over the butler creek? I don’t mind paying for quality as long as it’s worth it.

With the tenebraex covers they usually have the one that clamps on, I think the front, ocular cover, and the other one usually screws into the sun cover threads.

They are far superior to the butler creek covers. Not the same as the nice leupold alum ones, but they are still nice covers and worth the price. Well almost, as most things hunting related, they are a tad overpriced, but that is my personal point.

They are well mounted and are up to the task of usage. I use several sets.

I have been using Butler Creek on every scope for over 30 years, and I have broken a couple on cold days , but that is out of at least 50 pairs. The key is getting the right size, and avoiding the eyepiece with the yellow actuator, as they get very brittle in the cold.

There is a guy on Gunpost from around Calgary that make a costume scope covers and throw leavers to your specks. I purchased 3 sets already from him and I'm very happy with them. They have small magnets to keep covers closed, have a side screws to tight them to the scope so don't have to warry about loosing them. Well made and good price as well.

Further to this: you want to talk to Alex at precisionprint company. Search “rifle scope caps” on Gunpost to see his products.
