steve_b_wales Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Hi Mark. Have'nt got a set myself, and won't be buying any either. I read about them in Sporting rifle magazine, and, although they look good, I cant see the point in buying them. I look at it this way, I've managed for more years that I care to remember, to look through my scopes without any problems, so what's the point of buying them now? Of course, this is just my opinion, and, maybe for some people,they will help them get better results. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems a pretty rounded response I don't get them at all, hopefully I have been shooting long enough to look through the centre of the scope generally, and if I haven't by now I don't thing these will help me. If you get some let us have a rewiew, I will not be bothering! ATB!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 As a foot note, I was thinking, why can't an ordinary flip up scope cover, be marked with tippex, in line with the reticule? After all, that's all the Accu cover's look like to me, or am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardo Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Surely the crosshairs in the scope do exactly the same thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right Nick but reading about these new covers makes me wonder if they are a gimmick or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Try some Tipex on the Butler Creeks before you invest like steve_b_wales suggested , and you will soon see if they are a gimmick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeker Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 what happens when you adjust a rearfocus eyepiece? do you have to realign the cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Do not feed the pigeons Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) AccuCover offers a money back guarantee if a customer is not happy with the product. There have been two returns to date, both users wore vari-focal glasses. Deer stalkers and pest controllers have been particularly impressed with the low light shooting aspect of the AccuCover. These guys seem happy with the AccuCover: BSAOG seeker - the AccuCover needs to be removed (the same as any other scope cover) to adjust the rear dioptre adjustment.
