freerange Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hey guys This must have been covered before but I am looking for the above for my 5.5-22 x50 scope. I have the ocular [eye] from Butler creek but the objective they supplied is way too big. The obj. on my scope measures 59.05mm and so I got myself a 44. I have been told that the 43 which is meant for 58.7mm is too small. I don't see any 43.5 advertised anywhere Surely I don't have to resort to insulation tape wrap to accommodate the 44? If there is nothing that fits precisely I would like to know - who sucks the most Nightforce or Butler Creek???? Cheers for any replies that can help me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for any replies that can help me I remember when I used to have this scope I had to resort to tape, but that was a few years ago they may have chaneged their spec. Butler Creek used to be very good now they are just shite and snap for fun. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely Brown Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Butler Creek used to be very good now they are just shite and snap for fun. Andy Certainly agree with that Andy! I think their "tactical" flip covers may be better but I have yet to find one to try...........anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatzi Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Wrap it with electrical tape but personally i would keep it only snug as with the rotating ocular body on a Nightforce, it often seems to need rotating out of the way and pushing the butler creek around is mandatory.
