The Butler Creek EEP1 is the Element Scope Cover (eyepiece version, Size 1, black). It is a flip-up/modular scope cap designed for the eyepiece (rear) of a rifle scope.
Key Specifications
- Size/Fit: Size 1 (Small) — fits eyepieces measuring approximately 37-42 mm in diameter. It uses a multi-flex rubber stretchable sleeve for a secure, adaptable fit across slight variations in scope diameters.
- Type: Eyepiece (rear) cap — model EEP1.
- Design: Flip-open lid with silent spring hinges. It opens to 180° (for viewing a data disk) or 270° (to lock fully out of the way).
- Modular Lenses/Inserts (interchangeable):
- Black disk (blocks sun/glare for everyday use).
- Clear disk (for rain or light transmission).
- Customizable printable ballistic data disk (for windage/elevation "dope" — templates available on Butler Creek's site).
- Construction: Rugged ridged polymer body with stainless steel components; built to handle extreme weather, heat, cold, abuse, and field conditions while remaining lightweight.
How to Confirm Fit for Your Scope
Measure the outside diameter of your scope's eyepiece (rear lens housing) with calipers or a ruler for accuracy. Size 1 (37-42 mm) is on the smaller end for eyepieces — many modern scopes fall in the 38-45 mm range, so double-check.
