WTF Scope Covers for 1.5-5 LEupold?

[BigUglyMan]

I looked in both the new Russell's and Wholesale catalogs and can't seem to find the good old-fashioned scope covers that were made by, IIRC, Uncle Mike's. They're the ones with the big rubber band with the caps attached to them. Anyone know who's carrying them? Are they still available? Anyone got a set lying arount for the Leupold 1.5-4/1-4/fixed 2.5? Not trying to actively solicit purchases here, just seemed like the logical continuation of the thought. Don't want to ruffle any feathers by pushing the rules.

that style of cover is obsolete. i tried to track them down last year. all thats avalable are the ####ty bikini covers .i miss them as i have a couple of pairs. they are far better than the flip ups.

What's so great about them. I got a set of those on my 1.5x5. They seem OK, but not that much better than those bikini thingies. Flip-ups are OK as well.

I just hate the bikini style covers. And I can't stand flip ups on a fine hunting rifle.
