    Can confirm the 14 is correct for the eyepiece on my HS LR 4-16x44, so pretty sure it'll be the same for yours. (Can confirm as I just broke mine, so took it off to check size for replacement)

    Can't remember what the size for the other end was, but looking at your measurements, the 33 seems about right..

    Most stores that stock gun bits should have them or be able to order them in. Roughly $25 a pop..

    Thanks Striker. Yip just went to the scope table, although they dont have the Vortex Viper 4x16 there from other scopes its the 14 and 33 that are the go.
    Are these easy enough to take on and off as only wanting for when the weather is shite?

    What about the leupold alumina caps? I'm sure you could get them the right size.

    Ok got me butler creeks. Whats the trick to getting em on without wrangling the eye box end? The rubber makes it tricky to get on. Soapy water?

    It should be a straight forward move, just push thru, the eye piece one is a bit tight and will go round and round as the eye piece twist to adjust.
    Please do not hesitate in ask if needed, put a photo if having to much trouble.
