Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!! Serious Man, Brilliant! You should change your name to "John Moses". Great job.
"Necessity is the mother of invention." This is one of those "aha" moments when all of us that have been purchasing "flash-kills" are starting to think - "duh, why didn't I think of that?"
 
hahaha right on brother. Seriously though, good idea. And I'm seriously going to copy it. I will give credit where it's due though! :D
 
Question for you guys related to this topic. I have a leupold, (older model) with no flip caps. It just has rubber end caps that I take on and off. Whats the best way to go about doing this project on something like this? /Zip ties? lol
 
I would try electrical tape. I don't know how long that will work but in the end I think the BC caps will be your best way.

You might be able to get away with zip ties, but I think the tape idea WinXp mentioned might be a better option. Investing in butler creek flip caps is a smart idea.

Another option would be finding a thin rubber hose wide enough to fit on to the scope.

It may be possible to find an old inner tube with a small enough diameter that you could cut a chunk out of and stretch over the end of the scope....just a thought.

Jasonbourne, You are the man! I just got some extra screen from my business neighbor and applied it as directed and it works awesome! I was given thin screen and a more durable screen (both in black, and rubber, not metal), and the thinner screen works the best. Also, I was given about 2 square feet of both in case I botched it. I did not, and now have some to use in the future if needed or to give to friends! Thanks for the great tip!
 
OK, a zombie thread but I happened across it and found it interesting!
