All those SOCOM HBARS were getting to heavy.... they needed to lighten the load somewhere.....
 Seriously I never thought the butler Creek covers held up that well. I busted my front cover about 6 months after I had it. Hard to break the Bikini covers... and no springs to pop out... |

You mean the mid-weights? I'm thinking it was probably breakage issues, but I'd like confirmation on that. |

Does anybody use clear see-through covers on their Aimpoint? I wonder if that would be a good idea. At least for the rear, and maybe the front?

I would love to find some that fit properly for both the front and rear. |

The Aimpoints that are shipped directly to the Army all come with the bikini covers, only the M series that are shipped to the US for resale come with flip-ups. The see through covers are actually better than the standard flip-ups and they will not break as easy.

Anyone know where I can order one of these for the Aimpoint ML2 I'm ordering? Is it difficult to replace the flip-up covers with a bikini cover? Thanks!

I've been wondering where they can be had from as well. The switch would be easy. Just pop the flip up's right off. |

In the past they have not been sold to individuals much, they are designed to work with Aimpoints QRP mount, there is a loop in the middle of the bikini strap that attaches to the large torque knob on the QRP. You might try contacting Aimpoint directly and see if they can help you out.

Not bad, that is less than the cost of one flip-up.
