Rifle scopes have two main parts that need protection: body and lenses. Even though modern scope bodies are as durable as ever and lenses have great abrasion protection, none of them is immune to damage. If you are constantly leaving your scope uncovered, it will accumulate tiny scratches over time, inevitably affecting image quality.
Rifle scope covers and lens flip covers (follow the link to explore our offerings in this category) can easily help you to prevent this from happening. Plus, covers also save your time on cleaning.
Scope sleeve protectors come in various designs, with neoprene covers being among the most popular for their snug fit and reliable protection. A scope neoprene cover not only provides excellent resistance against abrasions but also adds a layer of padding to protect against light impacts. These sleeves are flexible, durable, and perfect for hunters and shooters looking to safeguard their optics during heavy outdoor use. If you're heading into unpredictable weather, opting for a neoprene scope cover is a smart investment to ensure your gear stays operational.
It’s important to note that scope covers differ from scope cases. While covers are designed to protect the scope while it’s mounted on the rifle, cases are hard, suitcase-like carriers that protect your optic during transportation or storage separate from the gun. For everyday use, a cover or sleeve is the go-to option. But cases are definitely tougher than covers. They are also vital for bigger optical devices that are not mounted on rifles, like spotting scopes. Buying a spotting scope case is a reasonable investment that will alleviate the carrying process and ensure the scope’s safety.
