This is a pretty small scope (matching the rifle, I'd say), and it is an older model. Called Butler Creek today, and they said to give them the O.D. measurements and they should be able to fix me up. Unfortunately, with Weaver's bankruptcy(ies?), they're no help at all.

Thanks again. You pointed me in the right direction.

ps - turns out Butler Creek doesn't sell any lens covers for less than 1" in diameter. Diane at Butler Creek says I should buy their 'bikini' model, which covers both the eyepiece and the objective, and is held together with an elastic tie.

1/18/99 - bought the 'bikini', and it works great. Thanks again for the help.
