Minuteman's Review of Vortex Rifle Scope Flip Cap Cover
The FC-6 is advertised to fit scopes with objective diameters from 45 to 55 mm. I bought one for my Vortex PST 4-16x50 riflescope, which has a 50mm objective.
The FC-6 might be OK for 45 mm but it is definitely too small for anything larger because the ID of the cover is 45mm and will, therefore, reduce the effective objective diameter to 45 mm. I didn't try to fit it onto the scope, but the small diameter would have made it very difficult.
Probably the dimensions refer to the outside diameter of the scope, but if so they should make that clear.
Other than that, the cover is of slightly better quality that a Butler Creek and snaps closed more securely.
