Do the fold down lens interfere with the sight at all? I was looking at getting this for airsoft and was curious if they could act as lens protectors.

as long as you keep the clear covers clean with an adequate non abrasive cloth.

Air soft probably work ok. 20 .40 cal rounds and it fell apart completely. The lens protectors are really really cheap. I took them off right away so I don't know about looking through em.

They make the sights a bit darker, if you wanted to, I guess. Wouldn't recommend to leave it down while shooting, though. Why would you?

you may not want to hear this but the lens covers is useless anyway. when I mounted my scope on my Benjamin Marauder, the front lens cover notch won't let me turn my AO sight a full 360. like if I wanted to go from 25 yards to 100 yards the notch would stop the turn. just keep your rear cover and put on your sunshade and call it a day... happy hunting

It really depends on the height of your rear sight when folded down. In order to clear you would have to have a low profile rear sight to clear your scope

I'm currently using it on my 5DMK3 without any issues. Like I stated in my review however, approximately 3-4% of the screen (the edges) will be excluded from the viewfinder. This hasn't hindered my shots though and would highly recommend it over spending another $100 on the 2.2X magnification version. If I want to be precise with my shot I'll use my external 7in monitor. This viewfinder is great for being in the field shooting.

Probably not the best Idea for motorcycle. The eye openings are perforated for use with airsoft guns. Your visibility will be diminished. Might be able to remove the perforated pieces. Not sure how it would handle high speeds. The straps used to hold it on are elastic and are adjustable. It does sit off your face a bit so wind could catch it and pull it off.

The B Square mount itsself does not interfere with the ability to use the iron sights. You cannot use the sights when the scope is mounted. There is no see through. The scope mounting rings actually block the sights,but then I have the scope mounted!

yes they have a variable eye relief but enough for AR's and calibers to 7.62----have not gotten dinged on my 308 but it weighs 7.5 pounds---

I personally think they would perform perfectly, since mine do. You can always order them and check them out at dusk then if they don't work for you, return them. I would honestly consider the unarmored version as they are lighter but should be the same quality optics. I use the armored at night when I can't see holes in the ground and fall down a lot which messes up my unarmored binos. Go for it and let me know your decision.

Yes, it is and it's been well worth it. I don't know your firearm or the setup that you feel you're going to get but I could help you out with this issue. I shoot almost ALL see throughs with my scopes. I had an issue way back when, when my scope got hit on a set of low mounts; i.e. non see throughs. I was out of the fight until I got another rifle ........ lesson learned! Wayne

The one I have is on an AK in order for me to get a better line of vision with a scope. It is not open enough at the bottom to see the rear sight without interference.

Yes, it does. I own one and have used it in many paintball games. From firsthand experience, during one game I was shot in the left side of the visor (directly over my eye) by a paintball travelling at 280 fps and it took it like a champ. If you want to use it for airsoft, it'll last a lifetime. For paintball, I would replace the visor if it took a more than a few direct hits. It'll protect you just fine :)

Beach - I bought the Alumina Flip Back Lens Covers for the same scope. The objective cover works fine; the eyepiece pops off almost immediately. I found the same complaint online when I tried to find instructions (there aren't any in the package). I expected better from Leupold.

I wear glasses and have no problem with eye relief. I like the twist activated eyecup adjustment: when not actively using the binocs I keep them elevated to protect the ocular lenses. I don't believe in lens caps.

With your rear sight mounted in a forward position it could effect your sight picture alignment. But with continued practice and get comfortable with the location I don't think it would be a problem. Hope this helps.

Yes they will although I do recommend Getting a shemagh *excuse my spelling* because it will irritate your face a little at first especially if you are going to be running a lot but I highly recommend these they have saved me from a sniper shot from airsoft to the eye and didn't even scratch the lenses are removable and probably replaceable if you can find the right shape in case you don't want darkness everywhere I diffently think they will fit your face they can adjust to an extremely small size so good luck I hope this helped :)

The first question I'm not sure of. These things are great. I use them for hunting in fog, rain and early mornings and late evenings in the woods. Low light is no problem for these. I'm sure there are better optics out there but for the price, I couldn't be happier. Others that have used mine have purchased their own pair.

btw...my tasco world class3-9x40mm loses clarity with sundown or lower light. I forgot to note this point in earlier comment. it's a damn good build and buy for the money (51.99) but, more demanding purposes will require a much better scope. p.s. this would not be my combat scope on an ar15 either.
