No problem Phil. ;)
Depending on the scope, you may want to check that brands website,
They may have a specific one you need.

Well Im looking for several….the shock/paracord on most of my covers is wearing out… I have replacement cord but thought i would check out the flips….thanks again….

My last set was from Butler Creek and bought from Amazon. Just need to measure the front and rear in millimeters, compare to their size chart
and order accordingly.
Also heard of people ordering from Vortex, but I've never looked myself so I honestly can't say anything more than take a quick look.
-
I've used both. Vortex, for me, is much better. Has a rubber construction vs. hard plastic. Hinge assembly is more robust.
If given the choice, I always choose Vortex.
-
Amazon has a great selection, I have perhaps a dozen and I get to choose the size I want. No broken springs, they stay closed until I open them and they are easily opened:

Hot water, the plastic stays soft for a minute without hot spots.

Coupon code “FIRSTFREE”. COVERED SHIPPING AND TAX….. Ordered 4….3 same size and 1 another….$39.80….I think I will change all my scopes to these …..Ive replaced the cord on some …by cutting the end off small burgess….see pic..
-
I have one Monstrum flip up cover on one scope because the sources I checked were out of stock on the Butler Creek. It works fine. But so do the Butler Creek. I see no reason to avoid Monstrum but I don't really see significant advantages to them either.
-
I tried the Monstrums and they did work ok but seemed bulky to me. I went back to the rubber stretch over covers.

To me the flip ups get in the way. When the elastic cord starts getting weak I wrap it around the turrets once or twice. Mostly I just stuff a ball of toilet
paper in the hole. Bought a couple of leather cover for some of my vintage 2x Weavers. Leather covers are a bit pricey.
-
I had about five sets of the monstrous flip up scope covers and had them fail within a few months
The rubber split down the side. Check out Amazon reviews on these. I don't know if they have addresses the issue or not?
-
The only gun that I have them on right now is my Crosman 362. I'm not really a big fan of them except in the rain.
-
Not a fan of scope caps. The flip open ones don’t work well on my AO scopes and I always lose the elastic ones in the field. I quit bothering with them entirely about ten years ago. Doesn’t seem to hurt the glass.
-
I've been using flip up scope covers from Amazon for quite some time now, have replaced several covers on all sorts of scopes for both PB and air guns. They run about $6 a piece, never had one fail until last week when I set my Challenger down on its side and bent the scope cover all the way backwards. Totally my fault.
-
Depending on the scope I either use metal ones from the manufacturer that match the scope or I don’t bother with them unless the rifle is going in a safe. Rubber one tend to get in the way.
-
I think I have posted on this here before but the back 'flip up cover' works perfectly for me to block the left eye when shooting allowing me to keep both eyes open. I also have a 'dope dot' inside the cover for distances on PB, not needed so much for the short ranges with air guns but over 50 yards, I sure do need them.
-
And another option for the flip up covers,
get the stick on white disc's and write your trajectory info on the stick on,
then size the stick on fit the inside of the rear cover,
then you always have the info handy for the shot,
very easy to change the info, when needed.
All my scopes are set up this, getti'n too OLD to remember all that info
for all the different rifle/pistols............ ;) :o
YMMV,
Don

They always worked well for me.
