Neither are correct, the 30270 cap should be the ideal one. This scope has a 1.89" outer diameter on the objective end. Those scope caps stretch a bit, so you don't want one the same size (30280), let alone bigger (30290). Since the 30270 cap is the next size down from the scope's diameter, that is the ideal option.
