Yup, Russell's has them in their 2006 catalog.

But for $56.99 each plus tax plus shipping, I'll stick to my Bikini's.

Try Bass in Vaughn, (north of Toronto), I saw flip ups there but didn't
check the brand.
They did have leupold bases.

The new Leups are expensive and most of the popular sozes are Back ordered :roll:

Are they better than the Butler Creek flip ups?

Thanks everyone for help, everyone I contacted so far have one but not both or sold out, no stock, or back oder they seem popular as they do not mount over scope like Butler or other types and they only fit the new styled Leupolds

I believe they screw into the objective and ocular ends...like a sunshade

If you don't get one of the kits it is very hard to get them to tighten up in the right position... and you may have to remove your scope to turn them on depending on how much clearance there is :idea: :?

I might get the whole kit for next year, I'll first wait for some reviews though

For my VX3 4.5x14x40 BC scope I have on my T3 LS 270WSM. I placed the Leupold Flips ups...SWEET...very quiet, clean tight fit. I also purchased the raincote kit and the lense intensifier kit. You can screw in the lense intensifiers and obj rain cote, and the obj flip up together. The rain cote for the eye piece has a soft rubber ring around it. I like how the lense color changes the view, cuts out the haze.

If Leupold makes the Alumina stuff with a sillver finish, I'll get them for my other (my wife's) T3 LS 270WSM. I was told by Phil @ P&D Enterprises that Leupold was waiting to see how the the public took to the Alumina product. I believe they have a hit especially the flip up covers. I think people that buy Leupold scopes (VX3) (FX3) will want accessories hat have a smooth fit & finish to go with their scopes.

Great product in my books. I was lucky enough to get mine from P&D when they first came in. Now everyone wants to try them.
