Leupold Alumina Flipback Lens Cover
Probably will last as long as you own the scope vs. the plastic slip-over flip-ups which are okay but eventually fail. That is what you need to consider given the rather high price of the Alumina covers. When these covers snap closed they stay in place which has not always been my experience with the much cheaper slip-overs. I have waited for a discounted offering as the MSRP is way too expensive.
Great lens protection.

I have gradually replaced the cheaper plastic flip-ups on my Leupold scopes with these nearly indestructible Alumina covers. Yes, they are expensive but the scope that they protect is of such quality that it justifies the cost. One word of caution. If you own a VX-R 1.25x4-20mm (FireDot) then you cannot order by objective lens size since that model uses a 30mm tube as opposed to the FXII 2.5x20mm (not FireDot)that uses a 1" tube and an order based on objective lens size works but is too small for the 20mm lens size in the 30mm tube. I am told by Leupold rep that a 33mm cover works on the objective of the 20mm lens in the 30mm tube.
20 MM with good light gathering.

Leupold VX-R 1.25-4x20 Matte Rifle Scope
My larger Leupold FireDot (2x7-33mm VX-R) is simply too large for my Marlin 1895 .45-70 as I quickly learned when I got it on the bridge of my nose. But I loved the FireDot feature and moved it to a lower recoil setup. The VX-R 1.25-4-20 with it's 30mm tube didn't sacrifice much light gathering ability in low light situations and is a perfect fit for the intended rifle. Very good deer and pig scope in combination with a big bore for low light under 150 yard work. You will like the FireDot at low intensity settings for those situations.
