What size Butler Creek Flip Caps do I need for Redfield Battlezone Tac.22?

[magdump]

I measured my Redfield Battlezone Tac.22 with my Digitial Caliper and it was 1.624" Objective and 1.733" Eye

Looking at the chart from Butler Creek
http://www.butler-creek.com/productsImages/charts/flip_scope_chart.html

Would a 19 for the eye piece work as its 1.730" and my scope measures 1.733"?

What about the Objective? A 17 is 1.611" and the scope measures 1.624"


Thanks!

They will definitely fit, the caps stretch out a bit....I think they tell you how much somewhere in their info but I've even heated them up when I needed to stretch them a bit more. Made for a tight fit
The eye piece might even be a bit on the loose side since it's so closes to the actual size of the scope.

Well that sucks. 19 Eye are too tight and 20 Eye are too loose.

Have you tried them already? How could the 19 be too tight given the dimensions you posted?

You could try emailing the scope manufacturer.

Was just at my local gun shop. Eye is No go. They were out of 20 objective so I couldn't try an objective piece out.

Going to double check my measurements when I get home.

That seems strange. I've always gone with the closest size that was smaller then my measurement. It's definitely a bonus if you can try it out at the shop but warming the plastic will help.

Remeasured to the best of my ability.
1.628" Objective

1.740 - 1.768" depending if you measure the grip ring part of the Eye piece.
