Do these come with the famous Vortex warranty?
Yes, they are covered by the Vortex VIP Lifetime Warranty. If you experience any issues, simply return the product to the UK distributor (CSW) for a replacement.
Are these well made?
Absolutely. I have personally used a set (E-10 & O-56) for around eight years. They have been transferred between multiple scopes including Falcon X50, Delta Stryker, and Big Nikko models. Although some of these scopes have slightly larger objective sizes than the stated O-56 specification, the caps have still fitted securely.
Are these a tight fit?
Fit can vary depending on the specific scope model and the size selected. As different manufacturers have slightly different external dimensions, we cannot guarantee how tight the fit will be without knowing your exact scope.
Are these suitable for all scopes?
Not necessarily. Compatibility depends on your scopeās design. For example, scopes with an illumination dial on the eyepiece or Adjustable Objective (AO) models may not be suitable. If youāre unsure, please call us or email [email protected] with your scope details and, if possible, a photo. Weāll be happy to advise.
Does it affect the scopeās performance or field of view?
No. When flipped open, the cap is designed to stay clear of your line of sight and does not interfere with normal shooting use.
