I finally got around to installing this scope cap. It's nice, but it does not seem that it was made for hunting. I like that it is designed to rotate the cap and hinge upon installation to that a scope installed low to the pic rail does not impede the cap from being installed once the hinge meets the rail. When it does, the hinge can be rotated in the opposite direction within backing the threads out of the objective bell. The ability to rotate the cap also makes it very easy to change the orientation that the cap flips open. There is no padding or buffer the prevent the cap from touching the scope cap frame. Thus there is no air or water tight seal created once the cap is closed. It seem sot me that water may reach the lens beneath a closed cap if you're caught out in the rain. There is no resistance in the scope cap hinge. With that said it would not take much to inadvertently open the cap while traversing moderate brush. The metal will make a considerable amount of noise if something hard scrapes across it or bumps into it (like a dry branch, vine, or a pants/chaps zipper). I think this scope cover is better suited for a bench rest rifle or something, but bikini covers are inconvenient to me so I'd rather have flip-open caps installed. I think it's best to stick to the Vortex or Monstrum scope caps that I prefer.
