Great little guide. Have you tested the fps it will take?
Homemade Lens Protector
Hey fellow snipers,
I just wanted to demonstrate how you can make inexpensive scope protectors for scopes/red dots. This mod costs less than $10 and is completely reversible if you are not satisfied with the results. The material required includes:
-Clear Lexan (Comes in varying sizes: 1/16,1/8, etc)
-Scissors
-Black Hockey Tape
-Pen
-Original Scope Cover (Optional)
Step 1:
Place the objective lens flat on top of the lexan. Then take your pen and trace the outer circumference of your scope.
Step 2:
Cut along the lines you traced with a pair of scissors. Then place the circle on the objective lens. If the lens does not fit, trim the circle with your scissors.
Step 3:
Peel only half of the roll of hockey tape.
Step 4:
Peel off the blue cover on the lexan lens and place on the objective lens. Then attach a strip of hockey tape to the scope and to the lexan. Make sure a thin strip of tape sits on top of the lexan.
Hopefully this tutorial will help save some $$$ and protect your expensive scope.
Geli out!

I just tested my lens protector (1/16 inch lexan) with my BA that shoots around 425 fps with 0.2 BB's. I took two shots points blank, and all they did was leave a tiny dimple from the impact. I looked the scope after and the image was still crystal clear and the dimples were not noticeable. The lens should hold up past 500 FPS, but if your worried use 1/8 inch lexan.
Here is the lens after the test
