I bought a Savage Axis II XP in .223 a while back and it came with the subject scope. I am now interested in flip-up covers for it.

I wrote to Weaver, since their web site indicated flip up covers, asking for clarity. The response I got back was:

"Thank you for your inquiry. I'm sorry but Weaver Optic no longer makes accessory lens covers. We recommend products from the Butler Creek Company at www.butler-creek.com. The Kaspa 3-9X40 objective has an outside objective diameter of 1.910" and the eye piece is 1.492".

1.910" equals 48.5mm
1.492" equals 37.9mm

Butler Creek flip up covers for sale at Midway (Butler Creek Flip-Up Rifle Scope Cover Objective (Front)) show various sizes, none of which match exactly the above dimensions.

For example, the Obj lens OD from Weaver indicates 48.5mm, B/C size #28 is 48.0mm and size #29 is 48.7mm.

The eye piece OD from Weaver indicates 37.9mm. B/C size #9 is 37.7mm and size #10 is 38.1mm.

Looking for advice, since I have no idea how flexible they are in mounting. Will a size #29 (48.7mm) cover be loose on a 48.5mm objective) and will a size #10 (38.1mm) be loose on a 37.9mm eye piece? Or should I go "smaller" and hope they stretch out enough to fit?

If anyone has gotten B/C flip-ups for the Weaver Kaspa 3-9X40, I would very much appreciate your experience.

Thanks!

Thanks! Tried that, all I got was a snail-mail address and a phone number. I guess I'll have to do the old-fashioned technique of actually talking to a person!

I have also looked at Vortex flip-ups and may go with them instead. Better size range for both ocular and objective ends, and seem to be flexible enough.

Size #4: 35-40mm OD (for ocular, which is 37.9mm)
Size #6: 46-55mm OD (for objective, which is 48.5mm)
