Can anyone tell me where I can find some scope lens caps? I bought a Leupold scope and was dismayed to discover there were no lens caps with it. Thinking it was an oversight, I contacted Leupold and was told:
"Leupold has opted to not provide the lens covers due to all of the different available covers. Some of our customers prefer the Butler Creek flip covers and some prefer the bikini cover. If we provide one, we would have to provide the other. And rather than charge the extra cost of the lens covers in the base price, we would prefer the customer to purchase their preference
of lens covers."
A response like this didn't please me at all. Especially since every scope, even inexpensive ones, I've purchased in the past has had some kind of cover.
Since I don't really care for either the flip up type or the bikini cover, I've been searching for some plain old scope caps like the type supplied with most scopes. I haven't been able to locate any.
This scope is a 3-9x40.
Can anyone tell me where I can locate a set?
Thanks in advance for your help.
