why do the eyepiece and objective covers have different method of opening

It's really quite simple. The red release button on the eyepiece is designed to be thumbed open with your trigger hand when you're ready to aim and shoot. The objective end has lower tabs so it can be thumbed open by pushing on the tab (either side) with the hand holding the forearm of the rifle stock. Hope that makes sense.

The eye piece opens towards your eye and back down with a flick, the objective (the opposite end) opens away from you and flips up an you can push it back down when done.

When you ate handling the rifle, for the eyepiece, you so.ply push the spring button and the cover flips up. You Dont want to have to find the button and technically push back against you to open the objective lens. You simply thumb it forward and it pops open. It makes a lot more sense when you actually use it.

Most likely due to the nature of how we handle our firearms. Typically we place our rifles forward and down, when sighted up with our scope ... its much easier to press down with your trigger hand and push with your free hand.

The front one you open with your lt. thumb on stock....The back one you open with your thumb on rt. hand.....Other than that don't know....

So you can use your thumbs. Left thumb flips open the front, right opens the back. Think about where your hands are normally on the rifle and there you have it.

It's easier to open both the eyepiece and objective covers by pushing your thumb or finger in just one direction (forward).

I am sorry Thomas, I do not know the answer to your question. As a side note, I must correct my previous statement regarding the Celestron Skymaster binoculars I purchased. I stated that they didn't open wide enough to be able to view properly through both eyes. I was WRONG! I discovered that they in fact do operate properly, and I am very happy with them. I will say that I should have purchased the tripod stand that was offered with them at the time.All the best,Jim M.

The bits are reversible and snap into the nut drivers. You pull the shaft out of the handle and flip it over to get the other size nut driver and additional bits. I like this better then the Klein comparable. This will not have bits for eyeglass repair. They are meant for home improvement work.

I wouldn't worry too much about this. The lense cap for the objective lenses (the large ones away from the viewer) are fine and made from a nice rubber material. The cover for the eyepieces are a bit cheaply made and in fact the connecting piece on my first pair broke after 2-3 years. I just got another one from a friend. The quality of the optics in my opinion totally makes this a minor problem

There is a tiny set screw underneath where the barrel meets the eyepiece. Loosen that and you can swap them.

The objective (front) lens have attached lens caps that snap on and then hang down when you are using the binoculars. They work very well. The eye pieces have a molded cover that fits over both and hangs from one of the straps. It is O.K. but a little inconvenient.

if you wear glasses as I do you are supposed to roll the rubber cups on the eyepiece down for viewing with glasses, Bushnell actually has a "twist-up" feature on most of their optics that makes it easier. The only down side is that repeated rolling down for glases and back up for someone without glasses will eventually lead to the rubber breaking and then they will only be suitable for those with glasses

One is for the laser, the other is to access the batteries when needed to change them. The Allen wrench that came with the site is used to unscrew that opening/cover. Hope that helps!!

I have this scope and put Butler Creek Multiflex Flip-Open Eyepiece Scope Cover, Size 19-20 on the front and Butler Creek Multiflex Flip-Open Objective Scope Cover, Size 30-31 on the rear end. If the links don't work, 19-20 eye side and 30-31 muzzle end.

There appears to be a limited allowance to differentiate your viewing settings for each eye, with the eye cup positions. They slide out and in primarily to accommodate viewing with glasses or without. However, each eye cup has two clicks to adjust in between being fully out or completely in, to "accurately adjust your view." I haven't tried this myself.

Both eyes look through the lenses but you have to bring the object so close that it can only be in front if one at a time. Optics aren't the best either. Lenses are plastic.

The eye piece is a separate piece. I remove it everytime after I am done using it. I imagine it could be swapped out.

there are 10x and 20x interchangeable eyepieces, there are four lens settings on the rotating disk. I'm not sure of those magnifications, though.

Yes! I works well but the magnification is different from the standard eyepiece.

Not sure what the designers intended, but if you don't have time to flip up the covers, the clear rear cover will allow you to use the sight as an occluded eye gunsight. If both eyes are open, the dominant eye will see the dot and your brain will superimpose the dot correctly on the target as seen by the non-dominant eye.

Paul, thank you. From the specs alone, I agree, but I think there must be some significant difference between the two sets. The only thing I can see from the specs is something about the eyepiece adjustment.
