How would I find out? 

E-mail Highland outdoors, they are the UK agent for Nikko Stirling.

sales@highlandoutdoors.co.uk

Or contact Nikko direct, but I think it goes to highland outdoors anyway

Most likely be a specialist optical thread Mice - the OD of my thread is 23mm the ID of the cap is 22.5mm - going by the .25 thread depth I would guess that the pitch would be .5 but most likely require a specialist screw cutting tip with minimal radius.

Cheers bruno.

Strimmer,  how close to fitting were the simmons caps on the nikko? Did it feel like a different thread? Might be able to make them a slack fit and see if they go on?

 So these aren't my finest work, but I wanted to see if I could knock some covers up between jobs, if they fit and do the job I'll make some nicer ones, @strimmer_13 send me your address and I'll stick these in the post,  they'll cover up your turrets if nothing else.

The thread was something like M23x0.7/0.75 I had to use a 1mm insert as it's the smallest I could find, and definitely the first time I've used a scope as a gauge 😊 not something I'd want to do with an expensive scope.

White Nylon, it was left over from another job, and when he drops them he might see where they are🤣
