Learn how to install the Professor Optiken Flipcap-Set on your riflescope. Practical steps to protect lenses from dirt and damage.
Quick answer
The Professor Optiken Flipcap-Set provides a simple, secure way to protect your riflescope lenses. Here's how to install it correctly in a few minutes.
Why use flip-up lens covers?
Dust, rain, and accidental bumps can scratch or dirty your scope lenses, reducing clarity and potentially affecting accuracy. Flip-up covers offer instant protection without needing to remove anything before a shot. The Professor Optiken Flipcap-Set is designed for a snug fit on specific models, using rubberized plastic that stays put even during recoil.
Installing your Flipcap-Set in 4 steps
- Step 1: Identify the caps: Each set includes two caps: one for the ocular (eyepiece) and one for the objective (front lens). They are often marked or have different diameters. Hold each cap near its intended end to confirm the fit before pressing. A common mistake is swapping the caps. Check the diameter first.
- Step 2: Clean the scope body: Wipe the mounting surfaces on the scope's ocular and objective housings with a clean, dry cloth. Any dirt or grease can prevent the rubber coating from gripping properly. Even a thin layer of oil can cause the cap to slide off during use.
- Step 3: Press the caps into place: Align each cap with its corresponding scope end and press evenly around the rim until you feel the rubber grip seat firmly. Do not force it – if it doesn't fit, you may have the wrong cap or size. If the cap is too tight or too loose, double-check that you have the correct model-specific set.
- Step 4: Test the flip action: Flip each cap open and closed several times. The hinge should move freely without binding. Ensure the open cap does not obstruct your view or block the turret area. If it rubs against the scope body, adjust the cap's rotation slightly. A cap that doesn't flip fully open may catch on brush or gear. Reposition it now.
