Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Leupold optics have long set the standard for high performance, and now, with Alumina accessories, the company sets the standard for adaptability, too. Each Alumina flip-back lens cover features a powerful neodymium magnet to hold it securely closed over the lens, along with triple O-ring seals for maximum protection from the elements. More significantly, the cover flips open easily when you want to view an object through your Leupold 50mm riflescope, so you don't need to manually remove the cover before targeting an object. The cover is even clockable, so you can rotate it to open in any direction. Other details include a machined-aluminum precision construction, a low-profile design, and quick and easy operation. This particular cover is designed for Leupold 50mm and standard EP lenses, but covers are available for a variety of other sizes of eyepieces and objective lenses.

About Leupold
From humble immigrant beginnings, Leupold grew--based on a promise of quality--to become a classic American company. In 1907, Fred Leupold set up a one-man shop at 5th and Oak streets in Portland to repair surveying equipment. He was joined by his brother-in-law, Adam Voelpel, and later by inventor John Cyprian Stevens, and the foundations for a century of success were in place.

During Leupold’s second half-century, the company focused heavily on the sports optics business. Leupold’s presence in the hunting and shooting market expanded with innovative optics and features that are now legendary among hunters, shooters, and outdoors enthusiasts. Many of the industry’s standards--nitrogen waterproofing, the Duplex reticle, and more--were Leupold creations.

Wow, I wish I could give this 6 stars! It's rare to find a well built product these days, and the alumina lens caps are amazing. They installed perfectly on my VX-R, although I had to unscrew the rubber safety ring from the eyepiece.

The caps stop on a piece of rubber in the hinge when 'popped' open, so the caps open quietly. They stop a few degrees from parallel to the scope (i.e. 'popping' the caps open doesn't make them lay flat against the scope), but a gentle press on the cap pushes them into a sort of locked position parallel to the scope.

Leupold will give 50% off (according to the packaging) if you need to retrofit your scope. The packaging also says the caps will fit most scopes made after 2003.

I bought these for Christmas to go with a VX-2 4x12 50mm that Santa brought my son. I have a set on my VX-L as well. These covers aren't cheap, but they are solidly constructed, and I consider them to be a must for any Leupold scope. They open smoothly and quietly, and close firmly to protect the lens element. Kudos to Leupold for producing these.

Before ordering your lens covers call and ask Leupold if the model number you are wanting to order will screw into your eyepiece. My scope had a threaded objective lens but the eyepiece was not threaded, meaning I had to send it to Leupold to have a threaded eyepiece installed at a cost of $54. I would think that it should have been done with no charge. On the plus side, everything went together great when I got it back. Great product!
