Leupold Alumina caps

[std7mag]

Once they are attached, you're not losing them .
Pro tip: red loctite before you center the reticle

Personally, i'd use the low strength Purple Loctite 222!

The blue 242 Loctite if i had to.

The red Loctite needs heated to remove.

Not gonna happen on any of my firearms or optics!!!

Sarcasm bud, I'd never loctite a lens cap

Don't use red loctite on firearms. You have to heat it to get it to remove. You dont want to have to put a torch on your scope if you ever needed to remove it. The blue is more than sufficient. The red is for bolts you have to have high reliability on and will never ever get to again.

In my opinion blue loctite is absolutely mandatory for all scope bases, rails, and rings. But I have two scopes with alumina caps without any loctite on them at all and they are fine, not loose at all after 3-4 years.

You could always remove it with a dremel

They came with my vx-6 and I am super pleased. They stay closed, they are super quiet, and they are very sturdy. Highly recommend them.

I’ve never installed a set but this video claims the inner ring turns inside the outer part with the tabs.

This just saved me from unmounting one unnecessarily. Thanks!

Check Midway USA

No. Check Predator Optics. Or just PM me. Midway will Never ever be cheaper

I’ve put them on a couple of scopes. I like them and have had good luck
