what size butler creek cap fits the eyepiece? Expert Answer

Vortex does not state the eyepiece diameter of the Vortex Solo 8x36mm Monocular. I recommend using the measurement tool of the left of the product page below for the Butler Creek Lens Covers or contacting Vortex for the eyepiece diameter.

Excellent optic by Archer1, Verified Owner, June 27, 2025
Crisp, light gathering monocular that i use indoors for archery. The clarity of image and objective size are fantastic. Of course, given the 36 mm size, it is not small compared to a 25mm lens. If you don't mind that, for the price it's unbeatable.

Great Monocular by Wayne, Verified Owner, January 2, 2024
I have used this for a couple of hunting seasons. It's small, compact, can fit in your pocket of hang on your neck and doesn't get in the way. Wouldn't go without it.

Solo 8x36 monocular by Alan, October 2, 2022
Great little monocular nice and compact to carry around. Clear vision. Seems good build quality. Only 4 stars because lense covers would be nice to keep clean and protected. Used it on a trip out west and came in handy a few times
