Overview
Built for protecting a 60mm spotting scope in the field, this filter adds a layer of defense for the lens while also helping manage glare through its variable cat’s eye aperture. It is designed to flip up quickly when full light transmission is needed or when a clip-on NVD must be attached, keeping the optic ready for changing conditions. The unit is made from 6061 T6 aluminum and finished with a non-reflective Type III mil-spec hardcoat anodizing. It is specifically intended for the Leupold Mark 4 12-40x60mm Spotting Scope and Badger’s SLICK accessory-mounting cage.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed specifically for the Leupold Mark 4 12-40x60mm Spotting Scope and Badger's SLICK accessory-mounting cage, so fit is application-specific rather than universal.
- The variable cat's eye aperture reduces glare, but that means it is a protective filter with a purpose-built light-management function rather than a simple open lens cover.
- When full light transmission is needed, or when attaching a clip-on NVD, the filter flips up out of the way instead of staying in place as a fixed cover.
- The non-reflective hardcoat anodized finish helps keep the profile subdued, but the tan finish is a visible color choice that may not suit every setup.
