Butler Creek Blizzard 9 Scope Cover

 (3 customer reviews)

I agree pretty much with Bob Denhaan in that these are not really very secure. I had to fool around a lot in adjusting the fit of the caps on the rings to get them to stay closed but they still pop open easily with the slightest bump. Mine are basically OK for now because I keep them on an air rifle propped up by the back door to nab an occasional squirrel, but if I had to rely on these for a rifle being carried in the field, NO WAY! I'll never buy another one.

Update 2/27/2012
These covers have gone from bad to worse. It has now become impossible to keep them from staying closed even for a minute on their own. NEVER again!

I thought these see-through caps would be more useful than the standard BC flip caps, except when I got them, they were springing open on their own right out of the pack. I tried to fuss with them, and could sometimes get them to close, but didn't feel secure, and when I set the rifle down, the slightest bump popped them open again. I tried two sets for two different scopes, and all four did the same thing. The regular BC flip up caps... locked and tight. These... completely suck, so they are basically unusable. It would have actually been better if they didn't spring open at all, and you just simply flipped them up manually, but not staying closed is stupid.

just like on the reviews for the other butler creek covers. This is a great scope cover, easy to shoot without even flipping the cover up. Water and dirt tight. Durable. Good product.
