The Butler Creek ESC50 Element Scope Cover (also called the Element Scope Cap) is a flip-open objective lens cover designed for riflescopes with 45-50mm objective lenses (approximately 1.73–1.97 inches). It's part of Butler Creek's Element series, which emphasizes modular, all-weather protection.
Key Features
- Multi-flex rubber-stretchable sleeve: Fits a range of objective diameters within the 45-50mm size without needing exact matching. It uses a strong, flexible rubber to grip securely.
- Flip-open design: Opens to 180° or 270° positions for quick access. The ridged polymer lid is durable and built to handle extreme heat, cold, abuse, moisture, and dirt.
- Modular interchangeable disks (included with the cap):
- Black opaque disk: Minimizes direct sunlight/glare on the lens.
- Clear disk: Lets you view the reticle through the closed cap (useful in rain or light conditions).
- Printable data disk: Customizable "dope disk" where you can print or write windage/elevation ballistic data for quick reference.
- Rugged construction: Stainless steel hardware, tough polymer body, and weather-resistant materials for hunting or field use in any conditions.
Sizing Note
Confirm your scope's objective bell diameter measures in the 45-50mm range before buying. Butler Creek offers other Element models (e.g., ESC44 for 40-45mm, ESC56 for larger sizes) if this doesn't match.
