Will the Hawke 61001 flip-up cover fit my older pre-2013 Hawke 32mm riflescope?

No, the model 61001 is exclusively designed for non-AO Hawke 32mm riflescopes manufactured from the 2015 collection onwards. It uses a specific threaded interface that is incompatible with pre-2013 and pre-2015 production runs.

Can I use this 61001 objective cover on a Hawke scope that has an Adjustable Objective (AO)?

No, if your 32mm scope features an Adjustable Objective like the Vantage 4x32 AO, you must use model 61002 instead. The standard 61001 model lacks the necessary threading and bell diameter clearances required for AO variants.

How does the aluminium construction handle harsh Australian outback conditions compared to plastic caps?

Constructed from high-grade machined aluminium with a matte black finish, this cover offers superior durability against extreme heat, red-dirt dust, and heavy scrub impacts. Unlike plastic covers, it will not warp, crack, or slip off when navigating abrasive Australian bushland.

Does this cover require any electrical compliance or batteries for operation?

No, the Hawke 61001 is an entirely mechanical, non-electronic optical accessory. It does not require batteries, mains power, or Australian SAA and RCM electrical certifications.

How do I adjust the opening direction of the flip-up cover during setup?

The cover features a 360-degree orientation design that installs easily onto your threaded objective bezel without tools. You can simply screw and tighten it to lock securely in your preferred opening direction, whether that is upward, sideways, or angled for low-mount clearance.

Scope Cover - Hawke 61001 Objective 32mm

The Hawke Flip-Up Cover – Objective 32mm (Model 61 001) is a precision-engineered optical accessory designed to safeguard riflescope objective glass from dirt, rain, scratches, and field impacts. Machined from high-grade aluminium with a matte black finish, this screw-in lens cover threads directly into compatible front scope bezels, providing a durable, recoil-proof alternative to plastic or push-fit caps. It features integrated positioning stops for smooth, one-handed operation and allows 360-degree rotation during installation so shooters can configure the cover to flip open in any desired direction.

Key Features

Machined Aluminium Construction: High-grade metal body withstands heavy recoil and harsh field conditions without warping or cracking.
Direct Thread Attachment: Screws directly into the objective bell threads for a secure, low-profile fit.
Configurable 360-Degree Opening: Installs and tightens to flip open upward, sideways, or at custom angles to accommodate low scope mounts.
Single-Handed Deployment: Features tactile positioning stops for rapid opening and closing in dynamic shooting environments.
Passive Protection: Fully mechanical design requiring no batteries or external power sources.

Who is the Hawke Flip Up Cover Objective 32mm for?

Hunters using non-AO Hawke riflescopes — Requires direct-thread protection for standard 32mm objective lenses on post-2015 Hawke optical systems.
Pest controllers operating in dense terrain — Relies on high-grade machined aluminium construction to protect 32mm riflescope objective glass against scrub, dirt, and direct impacts.
Target shooters requiring rapid optic deployment — Utilises integrated mechanical stops on a 32mm lens cover for fast, single-handed operation at the firing line.

Less suitable for: Riflescopes manufactured prior to 2013 or 2015, Hawke Frontier 30 lines, Hawke XB/XB1 crossbow scopes, or models featuring an Adjustable Objective bell; these configurations require specialised dedicated covers such as an adjustable-objective (AO) specific flip-up lens cap or dedicated crossbow scope covers.
