Flip up scope caps for the Element Titan: what are my options?

[abqjoe]

So I just purchased an FX Impact M3 and went with the Element Titan for optics but for the life of I can't find any good flip up scope caps and I'm wondering what everyone is using? I have nice aluminum flip up caps for my HAWKE scopes that thread into the scope but can't seem to find any for my Titan. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Ditto on MK Machining caps...pricey but the best out there.

If you want to spend about half, you can get Vortex Defender caps. Are they specially sized per scope like the MK’s? No. But do they need to be? I have never had any problems with the Vortex ones.

I have used the Vortex caps, on several scopes. I do not like the rubber, "slip fit." The MKM's fit with a screw adjustment. Each to their own,...

Try Butler Creek flip up scope covers

Vote 2 for the Vortex caps. Made in USA, fold flat against the scope and are warrantied forever. Usually about $20 each and I just installed one on that same scope at the 56mm end.

Monstrum Tactical Flip-Up Rifle Scope Lens Covers are tough to beat.

Thank you for the suggestions everyone. Funny story; I spoke with Pyramid Air and they said that they don't sell flip-up caps for the Titan but said to call FX since that's where they get their Element optics from, so I did. FX said that they don't sell any flip-up caps for the Titan but to call Element Optics to inquire, and gave me some backdoor number. I called and the guy who answered said he is going to send me a set of flip-up caps free of charge. Quite honestly, Element Optics just gained a lifelong customer.

You should have received both types of scope caps, I would call the dealer.

I run the factory flip ups on one (which are ok), and a set of Butler Creek caps on my other Titan. I prefer the Butler Creek end caps.

Sorry for the late response, I just saw this now. Unfortunately I cannot give out the number. FX gave me the number but it turns out that it's the owners personal phone and I shouldn't really have this number to begin with. But, if you email them through the website they respond pretty quickly on weekdays.

Price and lead time?

Front are rear caps @ $75 and about a week for shipping.

I use Vortex caps, oldest pair 3 years old and no problems, call me cheap.

Update: Scope caps received.

My dealings with Shane also took a little time, but in the end they came through and shipped the product needed. I assume that it's the old "supply chain" story again. That is a strong consideration.
I believe that you'll get them, just be a little more patient.
