The Hawke Flip-Up Cover Objective 32mm AO (Model 61002) is a precision-machined optical accessory designed to protect riflescope lenses from moisture, dust, and physical impact. Constructed from high-grade lightweight aluminium with a matte black finish, this mechanical scope cap threads directly into the objective housing of compatible optics. It features a spring-loaded mechanism engineered for quiet, single-handed operation in the field, allowing shooters to rapidly open the cap without altering their firing position. The cover can be oriented to flip open in any direction, providing clearance for rifle barrels, large bolt handles, or auxiliary accessories.

Key Features

• High-Grade Aluminium Build: Machined metal construction provides superior crush, crack, and impact resistance compared to standard plastic covers in rugged bush environments.
• Adjustable Opening Orientation: The threaded base allows the cover to be positioned to flip up, left, or right according to user preference and rifle hardware clearance.
• Spring-Loaded Activation: Enables fast, quiet, single-handed deployment for quick target acquisition while hunting or target shooting.
• Direct Thread-In Interface: Screws directly into the objective bell threads without requiring tools or modifying the host riflescope.

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

• Airgun Pest Controllers — Requires dedicated objective lens protection designed for 32mm AO optics that shields glass from outdoor debris while allowing instant, single-handed deployment on active pest eradication rounds.
• Rimfire Small-Game Hunters — Demands a crush-resistant aluminium riflescope objective flip-up cover that threads securely onto 32mm AO objective bells to prevent scratches and water intrusion when moving through dense bushland.

Less suitable for: Standard non-AO 32mm riflescopes, Hawke Frontier 30 series models, and dedicated XB or XB1 crossbow optics; these configurations require fixed-objective 32mm flip caps or model-specific objective covers.
