Looking for lens caps for Nikon Scope

[That_FNG]

Picked up a Savage model 16 with a Nikon Prostaff 3x9x40. Looking for lens caps (preferably flip up style) but I'm having the darnedest luck figuring what fits the scope. The scope came already mounted on the gun, so I don't have the scope box with the measurements on it.

Go to butler creek site. They have a chart where you can figure out the measurements. Or look here

So color me silly, but I don't know how to use that chart to figure out which lens covers will fit. I've only every red dots and scopes that came with the covers, so this is new territory to me.

For the prostaff this is what is listed.

3–9x 40mm 39.3 48 10–11 28–29 11 28 4 7

Butler Creek is about the only game in town, but thats okay, they make a good product and don't try to sent their kids to college on your deal alone. The only problem I have ever had is, using a high quality Starrett caliper to measure (three times), and writing everything down all three times, recording my dimensions in both, the made up metric system, and the Pi based numerical system, finding may size, double checking, placing my order, receiving my order,,,, I always get one end wrong.

Do what I do. Order a size smaller than you think you need, and heat it up with a heat gun to install it. Nice and tight, and never falls off.

Well I ordered two sizes for front and back. One should fit.

Oh-oh... That means your going to be on the prowl for another scope that fit's the caps that don't fit...

Not quite. I will just return the one that doesn't fit. For the most part I don't have a use for most scopes. I'm more an iron sight or red dot/ acog guy. Almost all my shooting is at 50 yards or less lol.
