Will the Hawke 61005 flip-up cover fit my older Hawke riflescope purchased before 2015?

No, the Hawke 61005 is specifically engineered for threaded Hawke riflescope models from the 2015 collection onwards featuring a 42mm objective lens. Older models or non-threaded scopes from other brands will not accept the proprietary threading on this cap.

Are these aluminium covers compatible with Frontier 30 SF or XB crossbow scopes?

No, Hawke explicitly notes that these standard metal flip-up covers are incompatible with Frontier 30 and Frontier 30 SF riflescopes, as well as XB and XB1 crossbow scopes which require dedicated alternative covers.

Can I adjust the angle at which the cover flips open once it is screwed onto my scope?

Yes, the cap installs onto the objective bell threads and features a locking mechanism that allows you to time and orient the flip direction to open upwards, flat sideways, or at any preferred angle for quick one-handed target acquisition.

How well does the CNC-machined aluminium construction hold up against heavy recoil in the Australian bush?

Built from high-grade CNC-machined aluminium with a matte black anodised finish, the 61005 is rugged enough to withstand heavy centerfire, rimfire, and spring-piston airgun recoil shocks without shaking loose during harsh outback hunts.

Does this mechanical lens cap require any electrical safety compliance or Australian regulatory approvals?

As a purely mechanical accessory containing no electrical components, the Hawke 61005 does not require 240V mains power, an Australian power plug, or regulatory electrical approvals such as RCM or SAA compliance.

Scope Objective Cap - Hawke 61005

The Hawke Flip-Up Cover Objective (42mm), Model 61005, is a dedicated metal objective lens cap engineered for Hawke riflescopes. Built from high-grade CNC-machined aluminium with a matte black anodised finish, it threads directly into the front objective bell to shield the glass element against dust, rain, scratches, and impact debris. Designed for field durability, the mechanical cap features a spring-assisted flip mechanism that allows for swift, one-handed opening without alerting game, and it can be timed to open in any radial direction.

Key Features

Threaded Aluminium Construction: Machined from CNC aluminium to withstand mechanical shock and heavy recoil from centerfire, rimfire, and spring-piston airgun platforms.
One-Handed Operation: Features a spring-assisted mechanism that opens swiftly and silently to streamline target acquisition.
Multi-Directional Positioning: Threads securely into the objective housing and can be locked to flip open in any desired direction, including vertically or flat to the side.
Optic Protection: Creates a physical barrier over the objective glass to prevent scratch damage, dust ingress, and moisture buildup in rough terrain.

Who is the Hawke Flip Up Cover 42mm for?

Australian hunters traversing harsh scrub — Threads directly into a 42mm objective lens bell to physically isolate glass elements from dust, grit, and branch strikes in dense field environments.
Airgunners and sports shooters requiring optics protection — Provides an aluminium protective cap that holds up against spring-piston recoil on compatible Hawke scopes from the 2015 collection onwards.
