Here's a link to my post on them. Definitely worth checking out if you need scope caps.

Those look pretty nice.  What size for a Viper PST 2.5 x 10 x 44?

You would need the E-10 (universal eyepiece) and an O-44 cap for the objective.

From Dave at Vortex:

Here are size ranges for the various sizes.  These are Outside Diameter measurements of the scope, NOT the lens clear aperture size (i.e. a 50mm objective lens rifle scope will have a 50mm LENS clear aperture but a larger mechanical outside diameter on the tube)


E-10: 40mm-46mm

O-44: 48mm-53mm

O-50:  55mm-59mm

O-56:  62mm-66mm

Here is the video I took of the caps. They went on very easily. The rubber is easy to slid over the scope and holds firmly. There are three positions for the eye cap and two for the objective. I really like that they lock in place and won;t flap around. They are also well made and seem much stronger than Butler Creeks and compared to the AAD Mount caps they seem just as sturdy for under half the price. For $40 a set they are a great buy.

Why do they say these won't fit the 40mm vpr m 04 bdc?

What are my options for caps?

Will these caps be available for objectives smaller than 44?

Yes, we are working on some new sizes now and should have them available later this year. I don't have specific dates right now though.

As per the site "The E-10 fits all Vortex® Riflescopes except the 1-inch tube Viper® model VPR-M-01BDC, VPR-M-04BDC and VPR-M-03BDC.
Outside diameter: 40-46 mm | 1.57-1.81 inches"

The vpr m 04bdc specs say 1.57 on the eyepiece.
So.....sup?
I need some lids.
Thank you for a reply.

I think it might be a little loose on that eyepiece, but I can confirm for you on Monday. I know that on the PST some people have said it is a little loose, others think it's fine, so the PST is on the edge and it may just depend on the tolerances of the molding of the cap. We are developing a new eyepiece that will fit the smaller sizes and will probably be better on the 1" Viper and PST scopes than the current eyepiece cap.
