I've got Blizzard see through #4 clear on both ends of my maxzone. See post re: for my 100th post. They are awesome scope covers. I only use the see-throughs for both ends of my scopes. I've got them on my 12 ga. Browning A5, my Cooey 22LR and my Paradox scopes. -JR
Stock Exomax and now a Micro 335. :)

JR you sure about that :?: my Max Zone is bigger in the rear then in the front.... :D Thats why I had to go #4 blizzard front and #5 bushwacker in rear, he did not have a #5 blizzard. I just looked and it is a Max Zone scope. Anyhow's that's what it states on the side of it.... :D

Dryhorn, not sure. I will find out when I hear from bj. I can't see them being too much, there's really not much to them.

Lebaron seems to have problems keeping stock:) Russel sporting goods is based in Calgary, I mail order from them all the time.

I'd never put anything but clear flipups on my scope. A few years ago a buddy of mine showed up at hunt camp with the fancy new "instant action" scope covers that you can't see through. I was standing watch near him on a drive during that hunt and watched him raise his gun as a doe ran by. Then he lowered his gun to figure out how to open his scope covers. Then he raised it again but the deer was long gone. I know, it was dumb to have the covers closed while on stand, but sh*t happens.
