    I have one of the badlands magnetic bivvys (Not a fan as they open up from time to time) but I quite like that the caps are always removed when I pull the binos out. I want to look thru them after all.

    Caps pop but stay fixed to the binos. Never had them come completely off.

    And yeah I wouldn't not use caps in a bivvy as I have seen a few lenses marked by stuff in the bottom.

    Well given what Swaro stuff costs I would have thought decent lens protection would not be too much of a big ask but apparrently ...................... it is

    Definitely have a point there.
    4k worth of binos and 50c worth of lens caps

    I've read all about these ejection problems with the 85. I have 2 of them, different models, eg one Finn and one wood and haven't experienced this problem at all

    Mine are the medium action but if your using the 7x64 it will be the same action as mine.
    The throat length in my 6.5x65 has never been a problem.
    weird.

    The shorter Sako 85 SM action (.308 size) doesn't have the ejection problem, at least on mine and all of the ones I've seen being used. Numerous reports on the web of some of the longer 85 actions having the case hitting the scope.

    I’ve only ever struck the ejection issue myself on the xs 223 action. Never had the issue with the short or medium length actions.
