828 HHS eyecups

[elkhorn98]

According to swift they say these have had twist up eyecups for over a year. But eagle optics and others claim they are pop up. What does everyone have twist up or pop up?

EO is sometimes a little slow in updating their material. Did you find this on their site or call them?

i emailed someone there. I think his name was Ben.

Hi,

I've just purchased a new pair of HHS 828's and can confirm that they are in fact twist up, rather good actually as first impressions go.

Regards

Just got mine this week from Eagle Optics USA. Twist-up eyecups - left eye diopter built into center focus knob. This is the latest generation 828 HHS.

incedentally does the dioptic adjustment move with the focus wheel or is it permanently stationary while you turn the focus wheel like those on the swarovski slc's?

It remains stationary while you turn the focus wheel. The diopter wheel conveniently "clicks out" a couple of millimetres for adjustment then "clicks back" to its locked position. Works well.

My only wish is that they came with tethered objective lens covers like the SLC's. Any idea what the outside diameter of the SLC 42 barrels are? Maybe I'll post that question over on the Swarovski forum.

RATREE,

The outside diameter of my 10x42 SLC is 55mm. The inside diameter of the rubber objective covers is 55.5mm. (It takes a gorilla to stretch the tether rings over the objectives.) The outside diameter of my 828 HHS is 53mm, which would make the covers slightly too large.

Please let us know what solution you come up with.

Thanks for letting me know. My search continues and I'll keep you posted.

You can buy any rifle scope cover. Lots to choose from just make sure you get the closest size smaller than the outside diameter of the objectives.
