I posted a review of the Athlon Argos, where I complained about lens covers being too easily lost when they are not attached to the scope. After seeing it, the owner of OSS (Outdoor Sporting Solutions) contacted me. He invented and produced heavy duty retained lens covers for his Argos and he wanted to get my input on them.
Is lens caps are high quality 3D printed and available in two colors: ranger green and black. The cap is connected by stretch cord to a retaining ring that fits next to the lens shade tube on the scope. The caps were designed for most 85mm scopes like the Argos. But I found that when I tested it on my 80mm Talos, the inner rim of the caps were just a tad too wide to lock into sunshade.
I mentioned this to the founder of OSS and he said he would design future caps to be 1 or 2mm smaller so that they would fit both 80mm and 85mm spotting scopes. That kind of problem solving really puts the “solution” in Outdoor Sporting Solutions.
