strimmer_13 Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Anybody else lose scope/turret caps like loose change? Recently all I've had done or done myself is lose caps. Any ideas what I could use to replace them or where I can get more? I was thinking maybe the scope manufacturers or ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a Hawke scope, contact them and they will replace them free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats about the only make I'm not running atm. Used to only have hawke sport hds. Going to get a vantage soon. It's a Nikko mountmaster (and a Simmons), which my mate lost when he borrowed so I nicked the Simmons to put on the nikko and they didn't fit and got misplaced straight away. So technically only half my fault 😅 Edited February 6, 2020 by strimmer_13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Best Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Thirty years ago I lost some Leopoldo caps when zeroing. No problem getting replacements, but the price made sure I didn’t do it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typed turret caps and scope caps? I couldn't find any either, I searched for - elasticated scope lens cover - one piece scope lens cover - scope lens cover. I did see a few advertised but they were £6 - £29.99 plus p+p Any chance of a link to the seller Edited February 7, 2020 by Newbie to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can think of 4 within 20mtr 😳 Surprisingly never lost them off the decent scopes I've had, just these cheap things I've had on airguns.

oldypigeonpopper Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 hello, the Nikko scopes are imported by Highland Outdoors i cannot find the importer on Simmons but the USA company send any for repair to the Bushnell co USA so the Bushnell scope turret caps might be same, as for thread sizes i have search and cannot find, optics warehouse.co.uk might help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 @bruno22rf any idea what thread and size your nikko is? I've got a simmons I can take into work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
