For a lot of people, a scope is an investment. This holds especially true when you get into long range shooting and the price of the optic can end up being on par with your rifle, or even more expensive in some cases. Which brings us to protecting your lenses. Here you have a scope worth hundreds if not thousands of dollars and we are relying on a $10 flimsy piece of plastic to protect our investment? That is where Lirces 3 comes in with their Internal Scope Cap (ISC).
What is an Internal Scope Cap? Pretty much exactly what it sounds like. It is a unit that can be directly threaded onto your optic and features an internal aperture similar to a camera lens. As you twist the outer ring, you respectively open and close the aperture.
On top of that, the ISC can be had with one or two lenses built-in, lending additional protection. And depending on the model, they can be ordered with a removable honeycomb kill-flash, to reduce detection.
Where the ISC really comes into it’s own is with the adjustable aperture. Rather than being binary, open or closed, it can be partially opened. This can be used to adjust the amount of light coming into the scope. Allowing the user to reduce glint, glare and eye strain, depending on the conditions.
While I haven’t had a chance to use the ISC in the field, I am intrigued by the concept. The ability to protect the lens and also limit light depending on the situation sounds awesome. All of the units are made with aluminum construction for durability and an over-molded rubber adjustment ring that won’t warp in the heat.
Lirces 3 is a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, serving both the civilian and military markets. The ISC can be found in a few different versions and are available for most any optic, from CQB up to Spotting Scopes. Prices range from $150 and up, depending on if the objective lens is a custom size.
