The Sig Romeo 5 comes with bra lens covers. I'd like something that doesn't come off the rifle when you are using the optic. Has anyone found aftermarket lens covers that mount to the optic and flip up or down when open?

There isn't enough meat to secure flip up covers. Especially the rear. The only thing covers are good for to me is maybe transporting the rifle racked to an open ATV or jeep. Once you start shooting they are in the way and asking to get broken off. The best RDS cover IMO is a 2" piece of bicycle inner tube stretched over the optic. For the price of a Chinese inner tube from Walmart you can make a lifetime supply.

Not worth the trouble, just buy a Romeo 4 with the covers or buck up to an Aimpoint
